** Description changed:

  Hi,
  I switch to activated guest session, but the screen remains blank. I have to wake it up with keyboard/mouse action.
  
  How to reproduce:
  1. login with your account normally.
  2. switch to guest session from the panel menu "Switch Account... -> Guest Session", now it's under guest session and the display is normal.
  3. switch back to your user account, then switch to guest session again.
  4. The screen remains blank.
+ 
+ Another method:
+ 1. sudo true && gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.ScreenSaver \
+      --object-path /com/canonical/Unity/Session --method \
+      com.canonical.Unity.Session.ActivateScreenSaver && \
+      sleep 1 && sudo chvt 1 && sleep 1 && sudo chvt 7
  
  I can't reproduce this issue under Precise.
  Vivid snapshot 22-Mar-2015 can also reproduce this issue.
