screen saving is blank screen / turn off and there is no password prompt. i have never tried to lock the screen on guest account. theoretically, should it even be possible to lock the screen since guest accts use a random pwd?

Steps to reproduce: 1. start a guest session 2. allow the computer to suspend after timeout 3. resume the computer from suspend 4. a password prompt prevents guest (or any) user from resuming session As it stands, the user must press "switch user" at #4 above to go back to the login screen and may then re-enter the guest session from there. If the way that a guest session works is that it creates a temporary random password every time, that password should automatically be entered at step 4 above so the user never sees the password prompt, OR the guest session should always be created with "require my password when waking from suspend" unchecked. OR, computer should resume at login screen indicating that a guest user is already logged in (automatically run "switch user" command before suspend or after resume)?
