Bug Description

When switching to a user that isn't logged in, the GDM login screen is opened, and you have to input the wanted username, even though you just specified it in FUSA. I would have expected only a password to be asked.

OK I've chosen the wrong upstream package on purpose because fast-user-switch-applet was not an option. Of course now I've done this there's no easy way to correct this in the future...
