Description Martin Pitt 2010-04-29 16:28:42 UTC 
This was originally reported as bug 591082, but that got changed to fix something else.

When selecting an user who already has a session running (both when using the face browser and when typing it in), the button says "Log in". It should probably say something like "Switch to", or "Unlock" instead. This is particularly shown during the "enter password" phase, but since you also see that when you use the user switcher in the panel, "log in" is confusing.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2010-06-04 21:09:41 UTC 
Agreed.  Have a patch?
Comment 2 Martin Pitt 2010-06-06 21:17:33 UTC 
Not right now, it just came up as a side issue in bug 591082.
Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2010-06-11 15:36:03 UTC 
Should be fixed in master.  I went with Unlock for consistency with the screensaver.
