Bug Description
Hello,
I have two users on my Ubuntu Lucid (User1 and User2) with the option no password at the connexion
First Ubuntu open the session of User1 with no password.
Second I switch to User2 from the user list in the indicator session applet. I'm logged with User2 with no password.
But when i will go back to User1 with the fast switch, the lock screen appear.
This problem don't appear when i use the "Change from User1" to switch from user, it's OK, Gdm appear, I select the User2, I'm logged with this user with no password
Thanks,

I'm unable to reproduce this issue in 12.10: when I'm logged in as user A, and click in the Session Menu on user B (who has no password), lightdm switches me to user B without any password prompt.
