Bug Description

I expect my session to be locked when switching to a guest session. If it isn't, the guest could just switch to my VT with Ctrl+Alt+F7.

Apparently, `gnome-screensaver --lock` (or the org.gnome.SessionManager equivalent) needs to be called when switching users or creating a guest session.

  * Lock the current session before switching to the guest session. This
    is done by modifying IndicatorSessionActionsDbus::switch_to_guest()
    to call org.gnome.ScreenSaver's Lock function before switching to
    the guest session. (LP: #1205273)
