Description Grzegorz Staniak 2010-02-23 02:01:09 UTC
Description of problem:

The AutoLogin and TimedLogin features do not allow to easily re-log after logging out of a session that was started automatically or with a timed delay. In the former case, the AutoLogin user is logged in again immediately, in the latter -- after the TimedLoginDelay interval. It's possible to log in as a different user when TimedLoginDelay higher than a few seconds is used, but it's still inconvenient. It would be best for the user to be able to specify whether re-logging as a different user is possible, so that logging out of a AutoLogin session would leave the user with the chooser prompt. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every time. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use AutoLogin for your user name in gdm custom.conf
2. Log out of an AutoLogin session
3. Observe the immediate automatic logging in
  
Actual results:

When logging out of an AutoLogin Session, the user is immediately logged in again.

Expected results:

When logging out of an AutoLogin Session, the user is presented with the chooser to log in as whatever user he prefers.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 21:32:53 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
