Switch user when a session is locked doesn't work

Graphics / Linux Linux
1

Summary:
When a graphical session is locked by a user, it is impossible to click on the “switch user” button to start another one.

My system is Fedora 20:

  • kernel: 3.14.8 200.fc20 x86_64
  • akmod-nvidia: 331.79 1.fc20 x86_64
  • kdm 4.11.10 2.fc20 x86_64
  • kde-runtime 4.12.5 1.fc20 x86_64

How to reproduce the issue:

  1. open a session for user1
  2. lock the session of user1
  3. move the mouse → a window appear with 2 buttons: “switch user” and “unlock”
  4. click on the “switch user button”
  5. open a new session for user2 (session of user1 continues to run)
  6. close session of user2 → back to the locked session of user1 with 2 buttons: “switch user” and “unlock”
  7. click on “switch user button” → nothing happens

This is always reproducible.

Sorry, I tested this without the nvidia driver and the bug is still there. I have submitted a bug to redhat: 1116731 – Switch user when a session is locked doesn't work
