Binary package hint: gdm
log in one user, use compiz, not metacity. Do a switch user, log in as
someone else.. Use metacity.. and gnome.. Log-off. It logs directly
back into the compiz account that you left logged in before without
asking for password. It to sometime log in again when you do switch
user, let the screen saver come on.. I don't think its the screen saver
but more power management turning the screen black. You wake the
computer and you are logged in.. that's a security problem for
us..Screensaver, no longer works and either does lock.
We are using 8.04 with the latest as of 6/12.
