Bug Description

Tried with 20121008 quantal-desktop-amd64 but the behaviour is the same in i386 and amd64+mac as well.

1. Log into the Guest session and log out of it.
2. Then log in again to the guest session and once logged in to the session, go to the settings and make the timeout for screen lock as 1 min.

Wait for 1 min +
Then try to unlock the screen. It could be noticed that the user can not enter the guest session from the unlock window without going through the switch user path.
