Bug Description

when i preview a screen saver and click the "exit full screen" Button , the system logs out and goes back to the login window and asks usr-id and password to login again. actually i only preview a screen saver in full screen mode and exit the full screen mode but it luks like swapping the user... I hope i am understandable... also this might not seem to be a big problem but infact every time u preview a screen saver it simply logs out ! I use Ubuntu 7.04

I have the same problem. I use 7.04 too.
There is no trouble when I use lock screen even though the same screensaver is displayed in full screen. And yeah, its switching the user and not logging
out.

There is another bug while I lockscreen, my screen rendering changes and all rgb colors appear on the current screen whilst flashing for a second or two.
I know that its a software bug and nothing to do with my monitor which works perfectly.
