Be aware of a multiple-user screen lock issue

I'd like to point out that one of the reasons for this function is to allow an admin to debug a problem a user might be having. Given how complex a user's environment(prefs, settings, variables, etc) might be it is far easier to "become" that user and figure out what's going on than try to debug it on another account.
