Bug Description
Problem occurs with: unity 7.1.2+14.
Does not occur with: Ubuntu 13.10
1. On a system where yours is the only user account, lock the screen.
What you see: There is no way to tell that you are still logged in.
What you should see: It is obvious that you are still logged in.
This is a regression. It will likely lead to confusion and support calls, as people think the Lock function has logged them out (discarding unsaved documents, cancelling downloads, and so on) rather than just locking the session.

I guess showing an arrow on the top-left corner has it happens on the greeter is enough, isn't it?
