Yes - this happened to me after running debootstrap of 16.04 in a
chroot.

Bug description:
  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.
