This has been an ongoing problem since April of 2005, I believe. I've been sending feedback to Apple with no results. They don't care to fix this problem. I did find a temporary fix. I can't remember where I got it, probably MacHints. Anyway, copy the following into the AppleScript editor and save it. Run it every time you switch users. I keep mine in my dock to make it easy. You'll notice that the whole script simply launches DMProxy. do shell script "/System/Library/Frameworks/ ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DMProxy"
