Bug Description
Try the following:
- Log in a gnome-classic session
- Select "Switch User" in the top-right menu
(you are now on lightdm, your former session is supposed to be protected by a password)
- Switch to a random TTY
- Switch back to the graphical session: you are now in your first session, without entering any password.
This bug seems to occur with the combination of gnome-classic (with or without effects) and lightdm. Also occurs with the combination of Xfce and lightdm in Xubuntu 16.04 at least, if light-locker is not used (i.e. xflock4 calls another locker).
No problem with Unity or Gnome-Shell with lightdm.
With GDM3, no problem with gnome-classic.

lightdm has little to do with the user session, that seems rather a gnome-panel issue
