locker skipped if auto login is enabled for lightdm #143

After enabling auto login for lightdm, I can still lock the screen using light locker, but once autologin-user-timeout times out, I am auto logged in. I was expecting the autologin to come into play on booting up, but not for light-locker locked sessions.

The potential reason may be as specified in this ticket, "I guess it's due to the fact that light locker uses lightdm greeter to lock screen, so when it's displayed, it triggers another autologin timeout."

Some googling found this as well: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=854344

ENV: lightdm: 1.26 light-locker: 1.8 OS: Debian blueseye

It looks like it is an issue with LightDM itself and not light-locker. Please open a new issue once lightdm has a way to handle this specific situation and that an action is requires on light-locker side
