Public bug reported:

When I suspend the live session of Xubuntu 14.10 and wake up the
computer, the screen is locked and I'm asked to give a user name and a
password. I had to open a command-live session with ctrl+alt+F1 and run
'users' to find out that the user name is 'xubuntu' and then I guessed
the password was blank. A regular user might not know how to do this and
it seems to me absolutely pointless to lock the screen of a live
session. I mean okay: somebody could walk up to your suspended computer,
wake it up and click install on the desktop and proceed to wipe out your
hardrive. Ok. If that's your concern, then please let whoever is
starting the live session now from the start in a way that is hard to
miss what the user name and password are.

Otherwise, I'm really impressed with the progress from xubuntu 13.10 and
I'm looking forward to the official release of xfce 4.12!
