Public bug reported: I'm experiencing a bug similar to bug 1710637 with Ubuntu 17.10 again.
Test Case --------- schroot -u root -c trusty-amd64 edit /etc/apt/sources.list to xenial apt-get update apt-get install console-setup use alt+tab to bring up the window switcher then use alt+arrow to switch windows I then end up at the gdm login screen or a virtual tty. Installing a different set of packages, via apt-get dist-upgrade, actually ended up killing my desktop session.
