OK, it seems gnome-screensaver is actually searching for the
gdmflexiserver instead of using the correct API to switch users.
Reassigning this bug to gnome-screensaver, and marking 952305 as a dupe
since it's the same cause.

Title:
No "switch user" button when screen locked
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Guessing this is a problem with lightdm]
What I expected to happen:
When a user screen is locked, I expect to be able to switch to another user
by getting to the main greeter screen or by seeing the "Switch User Account"
drop down menu somewhere.
What actually happens:
Using 12.04 beta Desktop. When an Administrator or Standard User locks his
screen, either via inactivity or by Ctrl-Alt-L, there is no ability to switch
to another user. When activated, the greeter just shows the Password entry box
and "Unlock" button. No "Switch User" button is shown (or Shutdown, etc).
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
$ apt-cache policy lightdm

Installed: 1.1.6-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.1.6-0ubuntu1
