Bug#405179: gnome: Hangs horribly on attempt to switch user

[Vincent Lönngren]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.14.3.4
Severity: normal

Earlier today I tried to use switch user for the first time. The screen was garbled, and the entire system hung 
before I even got a chance to say which user to switch to. I had do do a hard reboot. Later today the new GNOME 
1:2.14.3.4 moved into testing, I upgraded and tried again. Still the same result.
