cannot disable autologin on disabled accounts

[Sven Romeike]

I created a new useraccount which is deactivated by default and accidently clicked on the switch to activate autologin for this new account. the button deactivated leaving me with an optically activated autologin from a user point of view. This may be a purely graphical problem but its definately not tied to compiz.

to reproduce this do the following:

1) create a new user account with the tool in the system settings
2) select that new account while its still deactivated (no passwords set)
3) enable autologin

expected result:
because the account is still deactivated autologin should not be possible at all or the switch should do nothing.

acctual result:
the autologin seems to be enabled and shows the "default login" icon. I am unable to deactivate autologin again. I can only deactivate it by selecting another user account and turn the default login switch on and off again.

see the screenshots for details.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks a lot for reporting this, however as the disabling of accounts is not an action that an average user is likely to perform, this does not qualify as a papercut.
