When going main-menu --> log out --> switch user --> [selecting a user from list], the GDM login prompt appears, with
1) NO user preselected; it asks you to fill in a username
This hsa been a long standing upstream issue, its covered in bug 309098
2) NO input is possible; they keyboard doesn't respond
I'm unable to duplicate this. Does the mouse move? Can you switch to a console window? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It seems to work relatively well, now.
Once, the new session froze and I still had to kill X. That alone isn't nice, but a little bit more grave: This brought me back to the previous session of the other user!
Its supposed to. There is an option to lock the screen after switching users in the applet preferences. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
