Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Steps to reproduce
 1. System -> Quit -> Switch User
 2. Login back in to your own account:
     2.1 Type your username
     2.2 Type your PASSWORD
  3. Your current session is reinitialized
  4. You get a screensaver/lock thingie
  5. Type your PASSWORD AGAIN

Hence switching users, means typing passwords TWICE.
Sessions should not be locked by default, when switching users.
It makes no sense.

I'm not sure about the correct package. Perhaps GDM has nothing to do
with this.
