Title:
  when unlocking account without a password, a password is required

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  SITUATION:
  Created an account without a password and with "Don't ask for a password on login" checked. 
  Logging in to this account only requires clicking it, this works fine. 
  Then after a few minutes of inactivity the screen saver locks the screen. 

  Now clicking the "unlock" button:

  EXSPECTED:
  unlock the screen.

  WHAT HAPPEND:
  Doesn't unlock the screen but fails the password.   

  
  Tested with an account with restricted access and with a default user account.

  A workaround is to click "switch user" and the select the same user
  (without the password) Now the screen unlocks.
