If I do this:
1 - Sign in to account1 using a password, then go to quit -> switch user.
2 - Sign in to account2 using a password, then go to quit -> log out.

Then it drops me back into account1 without prompting for a password.

This shouldn't happen.  I've tried it a couple times, rebooted, and
tried it again.  account1 is the account that was set up when I
installed ubuntu.  account2 is an unprivileged user.  Both are password
protected.

I am running xUbuntu 8.04.1.  Patches are up to date.  It is running on
a MSI Wind PC Intel 945GC with Intel GMA 950 onboard video. Please let
me know if I can provide any more information that would be helpful.

This may be related to Bug #195311.
