Garbled wallpaper in gnome-session after starting 2nd session

- Run in gnome session (latest, so 3.18).

- Switch to a 2nd session (Ctrl+Alt+F2), then do:

startx -- :2

- Switch back to 1st session (Ctrl+Alt+F3)

Desktop wallpaper totally garbled. No functionality loss, and if a wallpaper is reset, all works fine.

This happens with NVIDIA drivers. The last time I looked through bug reports was two weeks ago or so, and there was no solution for the problem. I think I remember a developer writing that he'll fix it if someone tells him how to detect the tty switch.
