Package: gdm Version: 2.20.7-1 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I'm unsure that this is actually a gdm problem, but it does seem relevant. The situation I have found is that I have two users who switch between VT7 and VT8. Since changing to Lenny, I have found that VT7 appears to be stable, but the user who logs into VT8 can run the session for a period of time, however if the users xscreensaver comes on and locks the screen and the switch user button is clicked the VT8 session will disappear. This has the potential to lose data for the second user and, of course, potential marital disharmony (which I would like to avoid as much as possible...) A similar situation I have also seen when using vnc4server, however it occurred with VT7. VT7 became unusable, however switching users and using VT10 was possible. If this bug should be pointed elsewhere, please let me know.
