* Backport "Don't lock the session when switching to another one" work from Robert Ancell, the screen locking is already done by consolekit and enforcing it there is problematic to i.e use the lightdm greeter as a lock screen (lp: #878836)
This introduces a regression: If you switch to another session, the original one now does not get locked any more. You can switch to it with Ctrl+Alt+F7 without having to enter any password. There is nothing else that would do that for you, ConsoleKit does not "do" any screen locking. I also don't understand why it's necessary in the first place. Before these two changes, lightdm unlocked the screensaver just fine when using the greeter to switch back to the session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878836 Title: Unity Greeter - Use Unity Greeter to fulfil lock screen as well as login functions Status in Ayatana Design: Triaged Status in The Session Menu: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager: In Progress Status in Unity Greeter: Triaged Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Use Unity Greeter to fulfil lock screen as well as login functions.
