Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I'm not sure whether gdm is the culprit, but it is really likely.
If I enable auto login through the system->administration->login screen or by
enabling it at installation time, I cannot lock my screen.
Even though those features are related, there should not be any dependencies
between them.
It is required to be able to lock a screen for instance during a break,
even though we auto-login.
The bug is reproducible any time by just ticking-unticking the auto
login feature in the appropriate menu.
At the moment the workaround is to enable a 1 second delay before auto-login to
allow other users to login in gdm.
Doing so enables the lock screen option.
