Gnome unlocks all desktop sessions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



All,

I am trying to figure out the logic of why Gnome is unlocking all of my desktop sessions. In my office I am logged into a CentOS 7 Gnome desktop, X :0. I then lock the screen and go home. Once home, I log into my work computer and start a new vncserver on :1. If I lock and then unlock :1, ALL desktop sessions are unlocked, including :0.

This can be observed with a laptop and watching :0 unlock when unlocking VNC session :1, or by launching multiple VNC servers. In one test I created vnc sessions on :1, :2, :3, :4, I connected to each and locked each desktop. I then unlocked one session and noticed all sessions unlocked at the same time. While the unlocking of VNC :1-:4 is quirky, at least it is still protected by the authentication provided by VNC; the unlocking of :0 is the trouble.

Can anyone provide clarity or a work around to this?
