It would help if you said what version of Ubuntu you are using.  This
problem happened to me a couple of times when installing Ubuntu 9.10
and I never changed from the default GDM.  FWIW, I am suspicious of
the user-switcher applet (no, I don't have a good reason).  If you do
a new install, make sure to have all the updates installed before
logging out.
