[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#779451: lightdm: dm-tool switch-to-user always returns to login screen

[chris.bainbridge at gmail.com (Chris Bainbridge)]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.3-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

"dm-tool switch-to-user" always opens the logins screen (same as "dm-tool
switch-to-greeter") - which requires reentering the username and password. This
even happens when "dm-tool list-seats" shows active sessions. Unless I'm
missing something, fast user switching is supposed to avoid this.

Using Debian Jessie with XFCE and Gnome.
