Bug#492733: Trying to open a new session closes the previous one

Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-1
Severity: normal
Running several sessions on the same computer is impossible. It worked
with etch but after an upgrade to Lenny, it doesn't work : when a user
tries to launch a new session (using the fast-switch-applet or by
System/Close the session/Change user), the serveur X close and the
login screen is displayed. The user can login but the previous session
has been killed.
- no proprietary driver
- xorg.conf seems to be the same between etch and lenny (no backup
file in /etc).
- system updated:
# apt-get upgrade

'stephane' is an user existing in etch version. Users 'pipo' and
'bimbo' have been created to test if the same problem occurs with
users created from scratch with the lenny version of debian. The
problem is still there.
