Dear All, I am facing a strange problem with the user switcher in Fedora 7 and can not seem to get the hang of it. Let us say that I (User A) am busy with my work with many windows open. Then my son (User B) wants to play games for say 30 minutes. Since I want to resume as soon as he is finished, I (A) do not log out and use user switcher to log him (B) in. When he is done, he logs out properly (user switcher is not used). Then the problem occurs. The screen goes blank, where the screen lock for user A was supposed to appear. After some considerable period (n minutes), screen lock prompt for user A appears. Just on a hunch, I changed screen saver timeout for user A, and it appears that n has got something to do with this, but I am not sure. Could you please tell me what is happening? Is it a bug? A feature? Or I am missing something? Thanks in advance. I am also putting below the .xsession-errors contents if it is of any interest. //////////////////////////////////////////////////// localuser:masroor being added to access control list SESSION_MANAGER=local/localhost.localdomain:/tmp/.ICE-unix/5411 ** Message: Could not connect to power manager: Could not get owner of name 'org .gnome.PowerManager': no such name winscard_clnt.c:3349:SCardCheckDaemonAvailability() PCSC Not Running error getting update info: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fed ora error getting update info: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fed ora ** Message: Found best visual for GL: 0x25 error getting update info: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fed ora ** Message: Found best visual for GL: 0x25 error getting update info: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fed ora error getting update info: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: fed ora ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
