Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When using switch user, the original user gets logged out.
More detail:
- First user logs in.
- "Switch user" -- login screen shows first user still logged in.
- Second user logs in.
- Second user logs out.
- Login screen shows first user logged out. First user can log in again but
original session has been lost.
Error message in the GDM logs:
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file
/var/lib/gdm/.config/metacity/sessions/102269cdd64f9053f9128325589418062200000038330002.ms:

Canonical says, "when you switch user it creates a saved session, but
upon return that file is gone."
