Hello again all,

I have found 9.04 to be one of the best Ubuntu versions yet, I am only posting my first thread since the Jackalope was let free.

I have one user on one system for whom the user switcher will not work.

Lets say user "John" is signed in, but this user "Ben" wants to sit down, when he uses the applet to select his name, it will not do anything. He can select any other name and then use the login screen to log himself in.

No other user on the computer has any problems. (I have seen this all demonstrated)

Got any ideas?

The user switcher applet has always been a bit shaky since its been introduced.
Even with multiple users I just log out and let others log in with GDM.
