FWIW, if you disable locking the screen entirely for the accounts, then it will not lock the screen when switching users anymore.
Open 'gconf-editor' (e.g. with Alt-F2) and go to /desktop/gnome/lockdown and check disable_lock_screen . This will entirely remove the ability to lock the screen though. You can install xlock (xlockmore) to still be able to do that. OT: IMHO ubuntu (linux in general?) is evolving so fast, that regressions like this pop up to often (even skipped Karmic because of this). Luckily, there is always a fix :-). -- Switch Users without locking screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
