Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04 beta

With the indicator-session, start a guest session.
With the indicator-session, switch back to your session : your password is asked : normal behavior.
Once again, switch to the guest session : guest user password is asked : anormal behavior.
Plus, neither user password nor a empty password works : There isn't any valid password for this user, is it ?
Worst again, there is no mean to go back to LightDM in order to open the user session : You're prisoner of the lock screen and your file to escape from this is only service lightdm restart or killing Xorg with the keyboard shortcut (or unplug the computer for not advanced users).
