Switch user is broken for multiple sessions after upgrade to stretch.
I've got a home desktop PC that often has several members of the
family logged in to it at the same time, with a mixture of LXDE,
GNOME, and FVWM(from .xsession) sessions.
It uses gdm3 as a display manager.
Since an upgrade to stretch, Switch User doesn't work.
None of these work:
- "Switch User" option in the LXDE logout menu.
- "New Login" button in xscreensaver,
- "Switch User" button in gnome-screensaver,
- gdmflexiserver
(It does work in GNOME)
I've also tried other display managers - LDXM, lightdm, sddm, wdm,
xdm - each has a switch user problem with some of the desktop
sessions. Also, only gmd3 seems to remember the session choices on a
per user basis.
Any suggestions?
(There is also a problem that LXDE uses light-locker, which, when used
with gdm3, just gives a blank screen with no way to get out of it.
I've disabled light-locker for LXDE in
/etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop to get around this.)
