Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
Clicking on the indicator applet, "New Session.." I get a logon screen (as expected). It shows a green tick next to my name showing I am logged in already. That's fine.
However if I click my username to get back in, the buttons become [cancel] and [login].
Login implies to me that it will login with a new session. I don't want to do that, I want ti "Switch to" the existing session.
