Binary package hint: xorg
There is one mayor inconsistency with the fast-user-switching UI.
The unlock screen dialog now already shows a "switch user" button. What
it does not yet show, but needs to show to avoid confusion is a list of
already running user sessions, which are available to switch to.
Without that, a user might try to login twice. This might happen if user
A locks his screen and then leaves the machine. User B logs in and
leaves as well. User A returns and thinks he has been logged out/killed
via Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and tries to login again. Moreover the way it is
now, he would have to wild guess which VT his session is on and he would
have to know about the appropriate keyboard shortcut, which is very
unlikely with newbies.
By the way, I very much like the fact, that in Ubuntu it is actually
taken serious if you say you can't expect a newbie to know - unlike in
Debian. I know, and most people that would report a bug or wish here,
but our mothers don't.
