Bug Description
After upgrade to 14.04, I notice I can no longer lock my screen. After more debugging, it was due to the fact that I have autologin enabled.
Autologin is needed, so when my machine starts up due to whatever reason. But I would like to be able to lock the screen, and thus require a password to unlock (per configuration) if needed (or when it goes idle).
