[Bug 868660] Re: changing the user on locked screen doesn't work

 

I have uninstalled gdm and reinstalled lightdm and it didn't change
anything.

Right now I've decided to come back to gdm. it works. Not as smooth as in previuos version.. but works at all.
With gdm when I use switching user applet - system first shows the locked screen then I have to click on Switch user (on the window with password) and then I see gdm main screen and have to click again on user I want to turn on - I have to do the same action (clickin to confirm switching the user) three times.
