I still have the same issue, on an old Sony VAIO, running Xubuntu (8.10). Shutdown, log out & switch user have always been a bit buggy (tending to go halfway, then freeze with just the wallpaper and cursor showing, especially in lomem situations), but since upgrading to Intrepid shutdown and log out seem to be a bit better, while switch user now always fails with the "Cannot start new display \n The X server failed. Perhaps it is not configured well." dialog.
