[LightDM] Using LightDM as a lockscreen

[Robert Ancell]

Hi Sean,

LightDM should lock the ConsoleKit session when it is switched away
from and then it's up to the session to lock down (e.g. by running
GNOME screensaver etc) in case a manual VT switch is performed. Can
you attach /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log after doing the switch? It
should have some records of locking the CK session.
