Public bug reported:

The "log in as other user" option on the lock screen has been known to
cause Gnome 3 to stop responding on my hardware.

I am open to assuming that this is a problem with my hardware, but
disabling org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-user-switching should
remove this option from the lock screen. It does not.

This means anyone in the physical vicinity of my laptop may cause loss
of work with a single click. This is almost a security vulnerability.
