[Ctrl+Alt+F8], [Ctrl+Alt+F7] work fine for me to switch between user
sessions (minimal KDE, LightDM, amdgpu). I usually start new sessions
using "dm-tool switch-to-user USER", sometimes I do it from KDE screen
locker. I have not noticed any issue with unlocking user session from
kscreenlocker password prompt or from lightlocker for fluxbox.
However what is broken in bookworm is unlocking user session from DM
login prompt. Sometimes existing session is terminated and I have to
login again. I have seen it with LightDM and SDDM, in qemu and without
virtualization. A workaround is to leave DM greeter running after logout
and to switch to another session using [Ctrl+Alt+F<n>].
On my old laptop LightDM greeter reliably switches to the plasma session
started for the selected user and unlocks that session. Currently
Kubuntu-20.04 is installed and I do not remember any problem with 18.04
or 16.04.
