This is a post I made yesterday to the fedora-list. There have been no
replies yet. I'm hoping someone here can give me a clue on how to
disable gnome "User Switching" or offer opinions on the following. The
behavior is a little unsettling.
TIA,
John

Here's my example usage :
1) Setup auto login :
edit :
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
...
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=my_uname
2) Restart to runlevel 5, experience autologin as "my_uname".
3) Activate System->Lockscreen menu option.
(screen saver starts)
Note : at this point, I expect my screen to be password protected.
4) Wiggle mouse for authentication dialog. Don't enter password; click
the "Switch User" button.
Try # 1 : Get directly to desktop, no password needed.
5) Repeat steps 3,4.
Try # 2 : Get login greeter on try #2. Select "Automatic Login" user,
get directly to desktop, no password needed.
6) Attempt to disable the "Switch User" button :
# gconf-editor
apps->gnome-screensaver->user_switch_enabled=false
desktop->gnome->disable_user_switching=true
Note : at this point, I expect user switching to be disabled.
7) Restart to runlevel 5. Same behavior; user switching is still enabled
and exhibits the same "no password" behavior of steps 3-5.
Questions :
-----------
Is it expected that once autologin is enabled, access to that account is
password free, even though the locking screensaver is activated?
Is there a way to actually disable the switch user button in the
screensaver authentication dialog?
