Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
My computer has two users, and they are often logged onto X simultaneously. I am one of the users and I use compiz. The problem is that when I lock my screen and switch to other VT (using ctrl+alt+fN or Fast User Switch Applet), then back to mine I get a white screen instead of Gnome unlock dialog. However, the mouse pointer still exists and even changes to cursor-like when I point the area where password text box should be located. I am able then to enter my password (the screen remains completely white) and to press enter. After that I am returned to my desktop as if nothing has happened.
I'm running Gutsy. compiz version is 1:0.6.0+
TEST CASE:
1. install hardy on a system with nvidia hardware
2. install proprietary nvidia driver
3. run compiz
4. create a additional user B
5. use the "fast-user-
6. switch back to user A
7. verify that the screen is white
1. install compiz-core from hardy-proposed
2. restart the X session
3. use the "fast-user-
4. switch back to user A
9. verify that the screeen is not white
10. verify that you can not break out of the lock (compare to bug #145123) by pressing key combinations like "alt-tab", "ctrl-alt-arrow" etc
11. Verify that no notifcation daemon message appear when the screen is locked over the log (see comment #95)
Steps to reproduce :
1. Login to user 1
2. Use the fast user switcher applet to login to user 2
3. Logout from user 2 session
Result : You get a white screen. You have to type your password and the white screen will disappears.

I have tested and successfully reproduced this bug on two NVIDIA based computers (new and old) running Gutsy 7.10.
