Description:
When I try to switch to another user in KDE and then back to the original, I get a message similar to this: """ The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.\n In order to unlock switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2),\n log in and execute the command:\n \n loginctl unlock-sessions\n \n Afterwards switch back to the running session (Ctrl+Alt+F%1). """ After running "loginctl unlock-sessions" I can switch the user. However when I try to switch the user again I am asked to run the same command again.

The problem appears when switching users from the application menu.
I found a workaround, you may close if you wish.
The series of events are 1) Login to first KDE session 2) Switch to user "test" from the application menu 3) Switch back to user "dimosd" the same way 4) Get an error message 5) Login to a text console and run "loginctl unlock-sessions" successfuly.
