Gotcha. 2 users on the machine, me and my wife. Her account (michelle) is set to auto-login on boot. This only appears to occur going from her account to mine. This happens with her logged in and mine logged out. Typically not on the first attempt. So she will be logged in, I will click to switch to mine, log in at the login screen, once I'm done I logout, she switches to her from the login screen to resume her session, then later when I again attempt to login using the steps above the screen comes up.
