package: sddm, gdm3, gnome-session
severity: important

Now it seems gnome session can lock screen only if logged in from gdm3
(isn't there a standard for display managers? is gnome breaking the
standard of sddm not implementing a new standard? can't changes be
better coordinated among DEs, can't we use freedesktop.org?). It makes
the whole system insecure as laptops when left unattended could be
misused by anyone without auto lock.

Same issue for switch user.

Not sure why you think things will continue to work if you just
replace random components of GNOME like this. You can replace
anything you want, but if it breaks you get to keep all the pieces.
The lock screen (et.al.) not working if you use another DM is
a well known issue. I'm not sure if particular component
can be "blamed" for this, since gnome-shell and gdm interaction
isn't something all other DMs are in any way required to
implement. Did SDDM claim it was a drop-in replacement for GDM?
If so, please file a bug against SDDM.

Andreas Henriksson
