After GDM lock screen, log into a different session

I think the following problem is caused by GDM, as it does not occur when using LightDM. Unfortunately I have found nothing interesting in log-files or on the internet, so I post it here, hoping someone can give a direction to solve it.

After running Gnome3(.16.2) for a while I get a lock-screen and a login screen. This is not the same lock screen as I have told Gnome to use whenever I would like to have the computer locked. The screen resolution is the same as that of the 'normal' login screen at boot, but not the same as the resolution I use on the desktop.

Logging in results in a new session on CTRL-ALT F4, leaving my original session on CTRL-ALT F2 (??), but without the mouse-cursor.

I have the lock-screen disabled, and running LightDM it does not show unless I explicitly tell it to.

The only desktop programs I use are MonoDevelop, Spyder3 and Firefox. I run Arch in a VMware-Fusion Guest for development purposes. I installed Open-vm-tools.

Running LightDM I am a happy user, but it nags me GDM cocks-up. Anyone a clue what I could research?

Kind regards,

Martin
