[Bug 1296227] [NEW] switching users asks for password twice

 

Public bug reported:

After a recent update to unity (I'm on 14.04 now), when I switch users,
after entering my password, I see the screen, and then the screensaver
kicks in and asks for my password again... that essentially means after
switching users, I need to enter my password twice...
