Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Severity: normal
When launching gdmflexiserver by hand from within a session with a
running xscreensaver, that session gets properly locked. Selecting an
active session to unlock instead of a new login, one gets asked for
the user's passord, and then switched to the proper console... where
xscreensaver is still locked, and the password has to be entered again!
Looks like it should just offer a "switch to this session" button and
let xscreensaver do its job, right ?
