Have put Lubuntu 12.04 on an aged laptop and a low spec desktop for the kids to watch stuff on bbc iplayer with. This issue is evident on both machines. Fantastic OS, really quick and responsive but is a bit laborious to switch between users as you have to put your password in twice, as described in posts above. (putting a password in once is challenging enough for a 6 year old but to have to do it a second time over with the clock ticking is proving a little traumatic!). I've tried to resole this but everything I read keeps coming back to either editing ~/.xscreensaver manually or running xscreensaver-demo (which is successfully updates ~/.xscreensaver ok). it doesn't seem to matter what settings are in ~/.xscreensaver it still insists on the passord being entered twice when you switch users. thanks for reading
