Title:
  Can't unlock screen when using a password-less account

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  I created a password-less account for my Mom, that is, in the Ubuntu
  Installer (or maybe later, using users-admin, I don't think it really
  matters) I created an account, inserted no password and checked the
  "don't ask for a password on login"  checkbox. After tweaking the
  permissions a bit, it works fine for her. The only (quite big) problem
  is that when the screen is locked, either by locking it manually or
  after a user-switch, you simply can't unlock it, since it asks for a
  password that I never set.

   I think that gnome-screensaver simply shouldn't ask for a password
  for this type of accounts.
