Hi Mke E.  I noticed after trying Kubuntu that when one switches user,
it opens another "VT" with another X server to that other user.  For
example, lets say user "Joe" is logged-in usuallyand has locked the
screen.  Then user "Sarah" arrives and activates the "Switch User"
button, then KDM appears as expected.  She loges-in to work, and now Joe
arrives to continue his work.  She lockes the screen, and then Joe just
has to push control-alt-F7 to access his locked session, while leaving
Sarah's session intact and accessible via control-alt-F9.

In other words, is that possible that this situation is making a
confusion here?  You do not have Compiz neither Metacity activated,
well, do you have Beryl?

I've extensively played with those "Switch user" options, and the only
time it really lock-up the computer, leaving it in an unusable state is
when "desktop effects" (either by Beryl or Compiz) are activated while
switching users.
