Bug#508791: base: multiuser functionality problem in gdm, desktop, etc

[Marek Poks]

hi,

i meant that i have had started gdm and paralelly kdm. first was on F7,  
second one on F8.
and after some time, when trying to switch from one disp. mnanager to  
another, the white screen
error occurs.

i have noticed this error half a year ago, but i didn't report it until  
today.

cheers.
