Same problem here.

Login user 1,VT 1, with full desktop effects.

Fast user switch to user 2, VT 2, who has no effect.

Fast user switch to user 1, on VT 1 -> black screen with responding mouse cursor only.

CTRL+ALT+FKEY for VT switch not operational

The only solution I have at the moment to come out of this is a system reset. I hate doing those...

No password set for any user.

Up-to-date Gutsy from new install, nvidia-glx-new.

This used to work well on the same machine, with Feisty, manual nvidia driver (9755 I believe) and git packages of compiz/fusion (Trevino).

This is a rather annoying bug that I consider a blocker either for the Fast-User switching by default, or for the Desktop effect by default. I do not understand its medium importance.

I saw the concept work, so there is a way to fix this (wishful thinking?), now is the time before the beta cycle!

I am clearly willing to help with testing and any additional info needed.
