Description Paul Menzel 2012-08-14 10:51:40 UTC
Running

    $ gnome-screensaver &
    $ gnome-screensaver-command --activate

and then clicking on »Switch user« for the first time on this system the user list was not shown in the new X session(?) (on tty8). The background was loaded correctly and I could move the mouse. But no window was shown at all.

Killing gnome-session-worker, GDM in that window started correctly.

This is Debian Sid/unstable with gdm3 3.4.1-2.

I attached to all GDM processes with GDB and run `t a a bt full`. I am going to post the backtraces as comments. But I do not even know which process is responsible to draw that window.
