Fast User Switching by default enables the screen lock when a user is switched
away from. Could there be a problem with your screen lock?
Yes, when a session is switched away from, gnome-screensaver, at least
(don't know about KDE / others), is supposed to lock the session... that
is.. unless you changed the default and asked it to never lock the
screen. If that's not the case, please file bugs against
gnome-screensaver so we can fix this. Thanks.
Btw, at least for FC7t1, gnome-screensaver wasn't included on the live
CD; a bug I hope we've fixed for t2.
