Public bug reported: This bug is related to #439068.
When running 10.04 LTS desktop with multiple users and user switching, if a password protected account is logged on and a guest user with no password is logged on. From the password protected account I select the guest account ( in the power button icon menu top right ), the locked screen window from gnome-screensaver appears. It does not accept the blank password. Work around : 1. Select "switch user" 2. Select guest user from GDM window, blank password is accepted. This is different from the mentioned ticket as I am not using auto login and am switching between password protected accounts and the guest account.
