Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
     Assignee: Oliver Grawert
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
When attempting to use "Switch User" function within Edubuntu/LTSP
environment, error message states "You do not seem to be logged in on
the console" message details "Starting a new login only works correctly
on the console" - this is because "Switch User" requires GDM and
Edubuntu/LTSP commonly uses LDM for a login manager.


Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-
desktop'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
