[Bug 869664] [NEW] Screen locking issue; user with no password

 

Public bug reported:

I have two accounts on my system - one that is secured with a password, and one that is not secured by a password.
For the account with no password, when the system has went to a screensaver, and you resume, it prompts for a password (incorrectly).  In order to be logged back in as the user, you must click "Switch User", then click on the currently logged in user, and hten it will correctly not prompt for a password.
