Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Hi,
Along similar lines to 48450 and 47005 - when I lock my session, it is
possible for another users to then switch to their account, and upon
logging in X appears to crash, restart, and then the default login
screen reappears however with a nautilus window open showing the home
directory of the previously (original) logged in user, with the ability
to navigate freely within it......
I have reproduced this many times myself i.e. it was not a freak
occurrence. Sometimes it coincides with Mozilla crashing out and asking
to start or restore, and my system was an upgrade from Dapper not a
fresh install.
Hope someone can plug this!!!
