Description Kevin Cassidy 2007-11-25 15:52:46 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The applet seems to forget which tty a user is connected to. I'm dumped to an unused tty on a regular basis when switching and I have to <Ctrl>+<Alt><Funtion Key> to find my session.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch between 2 users' sessions.
2. Eventually (and often for me) you'll be dumped to an unused tty.


Actual results:
I'm dumped to an unused tty.

Expected results:
I should be switched to the tty my session is open on.

Does this happen every time?
No, most of the time.
