ubuntu 8.10 has a nice feature of switching users using fast-user-switch. If I
understand correctly, it somehow stops the current X-Windows server without
destroying already open windows, and then starts the new X-Windows server, on
behalf of user you want to switch to.

For some reason, stopping of Nouveau-powered X-Server always returns faulure,
with following error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

Because of that, the fast-user-switch never proceeds to second part of starting
another X-Windows, and instead returns to the previous X session with obscure
error about inability to start X-Windows.
