Bug Description

Mint 15 Olivia 64 bit, with Cinnamon nightlies. Linux 3.8.0.-19-generic

I have several "test" usernames set up on my test machine. Recently, I have found I cannot select any of those usernames from the userlist at the login window.

I can only use the original username with which the system was built, unless I disable the "automatically select the last logged in user" option under Login Window Preferences.

Have tried HTML Clouds, GDM Metal, and several other GDM userlist styles. All refuse to allow me to select any other users for logon.

The "automatically select last logged in user" option should NOT prevent the user from selecting a different username at the login window. This new feature did allow other users to log on when I tested it a week or two back, so something appears to have been broken since.
