Title:
  password not checked on screen unlock

Status in “light-locker” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a system upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04:

  When "don't ask for password on login" is checked for a user, previous
  screen locking would still require a password - the preference only
  applied to logins.

  Now light locker(?) is showing a password dialog box, but it will
  accept any (or no) password for screen unlock, just as for login.

  This might be a good change, but it was surely unexpected, and I found
  the previous functionality (being able to NOT require the PW for login
  but still require it for screen unlock) very useful, even if it might
  seem odd on the surface.
