GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710456
when switching users, the password input screen is shown rather than the user switcher
Last modified: 2013-11-27 21:18:12 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. log into to user1. 2. switch to user2 and log in 3. use gnome-shell to switch to user1. this results in the password entry screen for user2 being shown, and the spinner in the bottom right near the login button spinning. pressing cancel here returns you back to the user switcher. Expected Results: the user switcher is shown.

Created attachment 262808 [details] [review] authPrompt: propagate gdm "reset" signal after user switching After a user types in their password at the login screen, one of two things can happen 1) a new session is started 2) an existing session is switched to In the latter case, GDM sends a reset signal to the login screen, so it knows to go back to the user list and wait to be summoned again. Unfortunately, all reset signals are ignored after verification success. The reason is because the reset handler was copied from the unlock dialog as part of a deduplication effort in commit 7e7295f259febf34c89659a9bcb05f9924fa1976 and the unlock dialog handler at the time also emitted a "failed" signal on reset (which wouldn't make sense to emit after success). These days "failed" is handled in a different way. This commit changes the code to let reset signals through after successful verification.
