Bug Description

With the following in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ...
greeter-hide-users=true
...the login screen suppresses the user name/s as expected. However, if the session is locked, say due to inactivity, when attempting to unlock it both the user name and real name are displayed in the dialog and the panel. This should not happen, the names should not be displayed if greeter-hide-users is set to 'true', or maybe there needs to be a separate setting that controls the display of names in the unlock dialog and the panel.

This is because the lock screen is actually gnome-screensaver. Bug 878836 is about replacing gnome-screensaver with the greeter.
