Bug Description

After a recent update to unity (I'm on 14.04 now), when I switch users, after entering my password, I see the screen, and then the screensaver kicks in and asks for my password again... that essentially means after switching users, I need to enter my password twice...

1)
alex@thinkpad:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04

2)
alex@thinkpad:~$ apt-cache policy unity
unity:
  Installed: 7.1.2+14.04.20140318-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 7.1.2+14.04.20140320.1-0ubuntu1

 *** 7.1.2+14.04.20140318-0ubuntu1 0

3) after typing my password when switching users, I get access to the users' desktop
4) I get prompted for the password again after 2-3s
