How are you switching users?
As Mr. Billings said, you can ctrl-alt-backspace to kill the current X
server. You can also (with root permissions) killall gdm-binary, or
switch to runlevel 3, and back to runlevel 5 (init 3, init 5). Any of
those *should* reset the video card.
Perhaps the window manager loaded in a funny state?
Does anyone know how to turn on the XDMCP server bits with redhat?
