GDM autologs previous user :(

Hi.. I use gdm as login manager, which works great but recently i got visits
in my house and the problem arise. The point is when im not at the pc i usually
exit the session (not loging off) by selecting in GNOME's [System] menu [Exit]
and then [change user]. After that they can type the  easy user/password i designated
to them in gdm and do whatever they want ..  Then when i pick the pc again i
get caught by surprise (2..3.. gets me mad) that they have been using my session hmm 

That is I CHANGE USER, they LOGIN ANOTHER USER, they LOG OFF, voila they are inside my session mad
I look at config files and cant find an option related to tweak gdm to NOT autolog me again.

The gdm gui config tool has nothing related to this DANGEROUS default behavior. So, If u are a wizard at
gdm config files or at login manager please help me 'cause i hate see other people's web pages
(psicology, spreadsheets, news) in my lovely, always slim, clean, sparsed Desktop and that
counts what i can't see too (rm ~/*) .. I want privacy..


Are u listening?

Hi!

I have the same problem.
Try to lock your screen and switch user from screensaver's unlock dialog. After logout you'll see your locked screen and password prompt.
