Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session
I've disabled my screensaver lock, which had the unintended consequence
of allowing anyone using a guest session initiated from my session to
log into my session without a password by simply logging out from the
guest session.
Expected behavior:
1. I choose "Guest session" from the session menu.
2. Guest session begins.
3. I choose "Log Out..." from the session menu in the guest session.
4. Return to GDM, OR return to my session with a lock screen.
Actual behavior:
1. I choose "Guest session" from the session menu.
2. Guest session begins.
3. I choose "Log Out..." from the session menu in the guest session.
4. My session resumes without lock screen (without asking for a password).
** Affects: gdm-guest-session (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- When screensaver lock is disabled, parent session resumes without asking for
a password when guest session terminates
+ When screensaver lock is disabled, terminating a guest session resumes the
parent session without asking for a password
** Description changed:
