Gnome and user switching, security issue??

Hi
I've noticed that when I log on my user account and I switch to a different account and then I log off or shut down the system (from second account) I'm being automatically switch into the first one. This switching takes place without returning to GDM and without entering password so this isn't safe! Any ideas to resolve this??

I've already seen that topic.
I can enable "user switch" button in a lock screen window, but I don't want to use lock screen function to switch users.
I think that after second user's logging off or shutting down the system GDM should be restarted to re-enter the password and then return to my previous session.
