accordingly.
** Summary changed:
- cannot switch users
+ Support GDM for switching users
** Changed in: indicator-session (Ubuntu)
Importance: Low => Wishlist
** Description changed:
- When I choose to switch users from the the menu item with my name in it,
under unity, latest 12.04 update, the screen goes dark and locks under my
original account. Instead, it should prompt me to log in as the other user.
+ When I choose to switch users from the the menu item with my name in it,
under unity, with GDM installed (NOT lightDM) latest 12.04 update, the screen

I've tried rebooting, and the problem is repeatable.
