First, I'm not entirely clear what UB is - I'd guess Ubuntu, but don't
know what the "B" part is or what release you're running.

As it happens, this morning I had to do just that, and although it
LOOKED like a whole new login, it wasn't really - when I "logged" back
in as the previous user from the current user's login, it went right
back to my screenaver.

Are you *sure* you lost all your windows, workspaces, etc. or did it
just look that way?

Are you sure you didn't log out as opposed to switching users?  It's
easy to do if your mouse or <return> are quicker than the hand....
