Currently, if the screen locked for a user without password, it's impossible to unlock it. But it's possible to click on "Change user" and relogin from GDM.

Since it's possible to configuring a passwordless user in GNOME Control Center, and GDM accepts passwordless login, I think that GNOME Screensaver should also accept unlocking for users without password.

I attached a patch that allows unlocking for users without password: the screen unlock automatically for these users.
