Bug Description
This bug is easily triggered on my computer. This only happens in Feisty, I've never seen this in Edgy or Dapper.
1. You need two user accounts to do this
2. Login with user account A
3. Lock the screen (or wait until the screensaver starts and the screen is locked) and switch user
4. Login with user account B
5. Lock the screen (or wait as above) and then open the lock
6. Logout user B --> my computer freezes completely at this point
As a temporary solution, I've disabled the screensavers from all accounts and the screens aren't locked anymore. Where should I start looking for the source of the trouble? User switching is used quite heavily on this computer and this problem is quite crippling.
I've got a clean and unmodified feisty:
P4 2.6GHz
1GB Ram
Ati Radeon X800 Pro (open source drivers)
Audigy 2 ZS

I've found out that the open source Ati drivers are quite certainly the cause of these crashes. I changed the driver from "ati" to "vesa" to test it and now all works well.
