I have discovered new and important information about this bug. It seems that the bug is triggered whenever a window in the other/old session steals focus. This explains why locking the first session before running switch user is a workaround. In that case the focus has been grabbed before the new session starts so the new session does have mouse control.
I discovered this when my wife told me the computer had crashed - it hadn't crashed, just the mouse wasn't working. When I switched to my VT there was an error dialog box waiting for me to click "Okay". It is possible to verify this behavior by running "sleep 10 && zenity --error" in one session and switching to another session. Using a longer sleep time may be easier for you. Please verify this conclusion if you can. We should revise the description if it's correct. -- Synaptics touchpad not enabled for second X display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
