This is seemingly the same issue as:

http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3043 ('LightDM + MATE: How to lock screen on switch user?')

which I posted in the MATE forums. That is, the issue seems to be that I, Thanatermesis and no doubt quite a few others expect a user-switch to automatically lock the user (or "seat" I believe I should say) that is being switched away from, and experience this not being so as a security issue. Given that I do moreover not consider myself generally clueless, I believe it it; there's going to be quite a few users that fall for this one...

I have however noticed that it was the same with LXDM and probably with GDM and therefore expect it to be design. Even if that is true, could LightDM grow an option to enable autmatic lock-on-switch-user? And set it by default, I'd say, but that's an opinion...
