Public bug reported:

Problem occurs with: unity 7.1.2+14.04.20140321-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Trusty
Does not occur with: Ubuntu 13.10

1. On a system where yours is the only user account, lock the screen.

What you see: There is no way to tell that you are still logged in.

What you should see: It is obvious that you are still logged in.

This is a regression. It will likely lead to confusion and support
calls, as people think the Lock function has logged them out (discarding
unsaved documents, cancelling downloads, and so on) rather than just
locking the session.

** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
