Filing under both gnome-screensaver and gdm; fixing this could require
changes in either or both.
** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
Importance: Medium => Wishlist
Status: Rejected => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- When switching users, the password has to be typed twice
+ Logging into an existing locked session with gdm should also unlock
screensaver
** Description changed:
- If I swich users via system/exit/switch-user to an already active user,
- the sequence of events is this:
-
- * gdm asks for the user
- * gdm asks for the password
- * gdm asks me (in an unclear language) whether to
- launch a new session or go back to the previous.
- * I choose to go back to the previous session
- * I get a black screen
- * I move the mouse
- * I get the gnome-screensaver password check dialog.
- * I type the password again.
- * I enter the session.
-
- Gnome-screensaver should not be active the moment I switch users. After
- clicking on entering previous session, I should directly enter that
- session.
+ After logging into an existing, locked session with gdm, the user will
+ be presented with the screensaver unlock dialog. Since they have just
+ been authenticated, they should not be asked for their password again.
+ A single successful authentication should grant them access to the
+ session
** Also affects: gdm (tuXlab)
