[Bug 89219] Re: Switching back to an user account needs no password

[Christof Krüger]

I can reproduce it with current feisty without having the fast-user-
switch applet installed.

I works for the first time only and leaves my session completely
unlocked even though gnome-screensaver is running.

I would consider it as quite serious security problem. Imagine you make
a break for shopping and let your small 12yo brother login to his
restricted account. Smart as your brother is, he switches VCs and does
whatever he wants with your data. Replace "brother" with "coworker",
"wife" or "guinea pig" at will.
