* Backport "Don't lock the session when switching to another one"
work from Robert Ancell, the screen locking is already done by
consolekit and enforcing it there is problematic to i.e use the
lightdm greeter as a lock screen (lp: #878836)
This introduces a regression: If you switch to another session, the
original one now does not get locked any more. You can switch to it with
Ctrl+Alt+F7 without having to enter any password. There is nothing else
that would do that for you, ConsoleKit does not "do" any screen locking.
I also don't understand why it's necessary in the first place. Before
these two changes, lightdm unlocked the screensaver just fine when using
the greeter to switch back to the session.
