Public bug reported:

Environment
Ubuntu 14.04, lightdm, unity

The problem occurs while trying to switch to another running user session.  It 
brings black X screen instead of password prompt window.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Login as user1   //creates X on vt7
2. Switch to new user session for user2 //creates X on vt8
3. Try to switch to user1 session via indicator-session //creates X on vt9 with 
black screen

This bug is similiar to a bunch of registered bugs related to incorrect file 
permissions. 
But none of advices helped.

I  found out that only blacklisting of nouveau kernel module helps

I attached logs from /var/log/lightdm
