Description Tim Edwards 2016-01-22 00:14:04 UTC
K Menu->Leave->New Session brings up the 'Switch User' overlay dialog, but clicking 'New Session' on that does nothing.

As a workaround using Krunner (Alt+F2) search 'new session', click 'Desktop Sessions New Session' does work

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. K Menu->Leave->New Session
2.click 'New Session' 
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
A new session starts - it shows the Display Manager login screen

I'm using Kubuntu 15.10 with the latest packages from the Kubuntu Backports PPA (Plasma 5.5.3)

I see the same problem with the same kubuntu/backport version. Thank you for mentioning the work around.
