Title:
  Waking from hibernate prompts for password when logging in doesn't

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This system is configured, under "Login Screen Settings", to log in
  automatically as me (the sole user on this computer). If the system is
  booted cleanly no password is required. So I'm imagining this
  bugreport from the perspective of someone who never needs to enter a
  password and may not know what to type.

  One day they hibernate or suspend their computer, and on returning to
  it they resume the machine.

  Expected behaviour here: (after a pause) their desktop appears
  Actual behaviour here: they see a prompt to unlock their session

  I couldn't find an existing report of these symptoms but I would argue
  given the story above that this behaviour is overly surprising and
  should be seen as a bug.
