Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-05-14 20:38:16 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/39936

"If user joe types username and password at the gdm login screen, and if joe is already logged in at another session, then gdm displays a dialog with three choices.

"Return to previous session" should be the hightlighted default choice.

At present "Log in anyway" is highlighted as the default choice, whereas in fact it is more of an "expert" option."

I'd accept a patch to change the default behavior.
Comment 2 Brian Cameron 2007-04-10 05:15:17 UTC 
GDM now has AlwaysLoginCurrentSession configuration option, so this should now be fixed.  I believe most distros set this to true by default.
