Bug#632672: gdm3: Doesn't properly detect multiple users logged in

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-10
Severity: normal

I just upgraded from gdm to gdm3 and noticed the following bug.

When I log in with user1 and then from user1 choose "New login" and then
login with user2, there are indeed 2 users logged in. But when I then
log out with user2 and go back to user1 and there try to shut down the
system, I *always* get the question: "Oh, there are multiple users
logged in and security policies say you can't shutdown now." But, it is
WRONG of course, there is only one user logged in. This means I always
have to do cancel here and shutdown again from the gdm greeter.

This worked fine in gdm!

I hope someone can fix this...
