[Bug 311978] [NEW] epic or partiall fail of user switching: crash (nvidia) or works only each 2nd or 3rd time (intell gfx)

[LimCore]

Public bug reported:

Two verified test cases:

a) ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia gfx, gnome, with 3d effects, - when switching
user then computer freezes, it looks a lot like bug##88152

b) ubuntu 8.10 with intel gfx, gnome - this is probably SEPARETE bug:  
- when using the applet, selecting an user, then it blinks screen (as if changing VT) and then says it fails. repeat 2-3 times and it usually works out eventually

- when I tried the Switch User from the screen-locked dialog (default
screen lock) then it didn't worked at all saying that there was X error


/var/log/Xorg.20.log is attached, ends quickly with

	X.Org Server Extension : 1.1
	X.Org Font Renderer : 0.6
(II) Loader running on linux
(++) using VT number 8
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call


/var/log/Xorg.21.log is attached, ends with

(**) Macintosh mouse button emulation: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200
(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device reopened after 10 attempts.
(II) Video Bus: Device reopened after 10 attempts.
(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 5


---------------------------------------------------------

both  are 64 bit systems

xorg is up to date (1:7.4~5ubuntu3)
