If not, it changes the 'unlock' text to 'switch to this user' or something and offers to let me back in without a password. But this neglects cases where the my session may have gone idle in the meantime (do two xorg/gnome sessions have separate idle timers?) and got locked anyway so it may not be a good approach.
