Bug Description
What I expect to happen:
User session to resume correctly after Switch User
What happens
User session resumes then ends abruptly on first attempt, then succeeds on second attempt
Steps to reproduce
Install lightdm-
Configure lightdm to use webkit-greeter
Login
Open e.g. a terminal window
Logout -> Switch User
Login to same user
Session resumes (your terminal window will still be open)
After a few moments, session exits abruptly back to webkit-greeter
Login again to same user
Session resumes correctly
This is happening on two fresh Lubuntu 16.04 installs, on different amd64 hardware. It happens 95% of the time with all of the webkit-greeter themes I have tried, including the default. I have not been able to reproduce it with the gtk-greeter. Unfortunately I need the face browser capability of the webkit-greeter for two elderly users who struggle badly with drop-down lists.
