[ Jeremy Bicha ]
* New upstream bugfix release.
- Fixes broken lock screen/switch user handling (LP: #1053666)
* 09_default_session.patch:

takes a gsettings override to set a different default session

* debian/gdm.config, debian/gdm.prerm:
- Fix debconf scripts by copying what lightdm does (LP: #1055292)

Title:
Login to an active session fails from the Switch User Screen
Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
Unknown
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The login screen that is reached via Switch User, does not allow you
to log back into a active session. The only way to get back to the
active session, is via manual VT switching (at which point you will
find out the session was never locked either, however that is probably
a different bug. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=:684459)
I am filing this against gnome-shell as it handles the switch user
screen, however it would also involve gdm and polkit to some level.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Click 'Switch User' from User Menu
2. You will get to the login screen
3. Try to log back in with the same user, after entering password it silently
fails and goes back to 2.
