I've long held that XP got the interaction right. There's just one login
screen. Unlocking your screen is just logging back in again. Switching
users is just logging in.
Right now, we have the OS X interaction: We have a login screen and a
separate unlock dialog.

Of course, there's no way to know that the gdm login dialog itself isn't

This is my first post to this list. :-)
It would be useful, at least in my college to know for how long the computer has been locked.
I think a boolean 'lock_time' key in gconf would be useful, so that a sysadmin could set it as mandatory.-- Henrique Manuel Rocha [EMAIL PROTECTED]
