1 user A locks session walks away
2 user B walks up to keyboard and wiggles mouse
3 computer switches to factory greeter
4 user B selects his account from the list, authenticates and clicks log in
5 computer creates a new session for user B and switches to it
6 user B locks session and walks away
7 user A comes back and wiggles mouse
8 computer switches to factory greeter
9 user A selects his account from the list.  In the list it says
"Already logged in" in small text. user A then authenticates and
clicks log in.
10 computer jumps to user A's existing session and the screen unlocks
