Depiction of the problem.

SUMMARY
Using the "Switch user" entry in the Application Launcher, I see solely my mouse on black, and am unable to even switch to a TTY.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Created a new user with the username and name "test" via `kcm_users` (to test https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486306#c1).
2.  Used "Switch user".

OBSERVED RESULT
I see solely my mouse on black, and am unable to even switch to a TTY.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be sent to SDDM's GUI.

It was consistently reproducible until I manually logged out, logged in to that user, then logged out and back into my own. Now, even creating new users and using "Switch user" doesn't reproduce the issue.
