Comment 7 for bug 203217

I want to chime in to say in my NIS environment the same behavior manifests. Other behavior is the desktop is unresponsive to user input and the top&bottom taskbars are crunched and unresponsive to user input. I have no idea whether fast-user-switch ever finishes initializing (as others have suggested it does) because when I discovered this behavior the system had been logged in for several days and the fast-user-switch process had consumed 7000+ minutes of CPU time and was still taking 100% CPU.
