[desktop] unity8 keeps switching away to greeter after switching users

[Michael Terry]

1) Log into a desktop unity8 session
2) Go to session indicator and try to switch accounts
3) You'll end up in the greeter
4) Now go back to u8 session and you'll notice it auto-switches you to greeter again!

Hard to get back in. We seem to be constantly trying to switch to greeter in a loop or something.

[Lukáš Tinkl (lukas-kde)]

Also worth noting, unity8 session starts on VT9, whereas U7 session would start on VT8 for the same user.
