Bug Description
If I start the computer, and choose a unity session, I can't switch users.
When I try to use the menu to select a new user, the screen goes blank. If I touch the mouse, it just shows the locked screen for the current user.
By contrast, If I choose a gnome session to begin with, I can switch users. However, if the new user starts a unity session, they also won't be able to use the menu on the top right of unity, to switch back to the other session.
I am using GDM and Quantal.
