First thing to check are the applications you have installed that run on
bootup. Many applications were not created for a multi-user environment and
some of them may cause an issue with fast user switching. My own experience
was that I was able to switch but I'd receive an alert the application would
be disabled in the account to which I had switched. However, that doesn't
preclude the possibility that an application might prevent you from
switching altogether.

I'd look at what's loading on startup, especially those applications that
place icons in the notification area (the area to the left of the clock) as
one of them is the likely culprit. You may have to remove that application
in order to test and find the source of the problem.
