Description Alexey Shumkin 2013-10-16 11:19:38 UTC 
I boot Fedora 19 in telinit 5 (with X-server) mode. User has a password.

1. Login into Gnome (in a default open session). Let call it "primary" session. 2. Lock it.
3. Then switch to tty2.
4. Run startx. "Secondary" Gnome session starts.
5. Lock it, too.
6. Then unlock it ("secondary"). Gnome switches to the "primary" session suprisingly unlocked!
7. Switch back to the "secondary" session. It is unlocked, too.

I consider this as a bug. Gnome must unlock only the "current" session.

P.S. Unlocking "primary" session does not unlock "secondary" one.

Multiple sessions with the same user are not supported.
Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-10-16 19:23:56 UTC 
It's not supposed to let you lock the screen at all for startx sessions.  that's bug 708691
