[Bug 1064269] Re: When running lightDM user switching doesnt work

[Barry Warsaw]

I can confirm that without this patch, switching users in gnome shell
does nothing.  With the patch, I always get back to the greeter.  So I
think this patch is probably reasonable.  I don't know the specific APIs
involved, so I can't review whether the changes are correct or
appropriate.

Also, final freeze is now in effect, so it is not appropriate to upload
this to the main archive.  I will upload it to quantal-proposed as per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FinalFreeze so that it can be tested and either
cherry picked into the release or SRUd after the release as determined
by the release team.

Title:
  When running lightDM user switching doesnt work

Status in GNOME Shell:
  New
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When running lightDM, the "Switch User" option under the gnome-shell
  User Menu, does not work. Clicking on this does nothing, since its
  trying to call a gdm function which obviously doesnt exist when
  lightDM is running.
