Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

The indicator applet shows a green checkmark icon next to the users who are logged in. However, on Lucid, the doesn't always show the logged in icon for some of the users that are. The user that logged in first doesn't show the second user to login as logged in.
Edit:Interestingly, sometimes if I switch to a user that is logged in, but has no checkmark, I am sent to the login screen to type my password. If I click on one that has the icon I get sent straight to the correct tty.

To reproduce:
On Lucid, make three accounts.
Log out of all the user accounts.
Log into the first user.
Use the indicator session applet to go to the login for the second user.
Login to the second user.
Use the indicator session applet to go to the login for the third user.
Login to the third user.
Open the indicator applet menu and notice that all three of the logged in users are shown as logged in.
Switch to the second user. Open their indicator applet menu. Notice that it only shows them and the first user as logged in .
Switch to the first user. Open their indicator applet menu. Notice that it only shows them as logged in.

In this screenshot, both of the users Bjorn E. Andersen and Erik B. Andersen are logged in, but the logged in icon is only shown for one of them.

The Bjorn E. Andersen user was logged in first. If I switch to the Erik B. Andersen user, the indicator applet shows both as logged in. And no, this is not the theme, as this happens with the default theme also.
