xfce black screen when switching user into already active se

Hi guys, for months I am having the following issue (the issue survived profile change, kernel changes and various world updates)

If I log in as user X and the "switch" to user Y and then "switch" back to user Xs active session I am hung up on a black screen.
Clean logging in and out works fine. I also varified that it is not a problem with a specific user. I am running 4 users and the problem occurs with any one of them.

I am not running any special settings in /etc/X11. I use nvidia proprietary drivers on a 3050 RTX.

Any ideas what could be the cause of this annoying behaviour ?

BTW I am running a current updated XFCE environment.

impulse guess: Any screensaver installed which will log you out if idle?

Is the problem reproducible with the Nouveau driver? That would rule out problems specific to the nVidia proprietary driver.
