When I try to install dconf it gives an option to REMOVE gdm3 what to do should I remove it ?

No it is NOT enabled.

for both accounts in question?

Yes. it is not enabled for both a/cs

I'm really at loss here. I will try to explore more but seems that most of options are exhausted. If there is anything else, I'll ask, still believe it is due to some misconfiguration than anything else. I cannot reproduce it at all.

What is your configuration? Running Gnome3?

Sorry about before, I'm not familiar with gdm3.

I am using Mate desktop there is also gnome3 & Cinnamon desktop installed.
I am using gdm3 as Display Manager.

Can you have a look at settings in Login window preferences, it should be in the main menu?
You mentioned that you have arch available, so instead walking you through, can you check out the differences between the two?

I only got gnome3 installed in my archlinux system while in LMDE I am using MATE desktop dont know which files to compare

in Arch whenever I switch user my a/c and press CTRL+ALT+F7 I get a password prompt unlike in LMDE where I get logged into my without asking for my password.

Ok.

You're switching users from panel? I just stumbled on this, admittedly it is not a bug in gnome3 or gdm3 but its a hint:

It happens in MATE or Gnome3 or both?

It happens in MATE as well as Gnome3 in my LMDE.

The link you gave kinda similar to my problems so ITS a SECURITY ISSUE AFTERALL. But I don't understand how come ArchLinux Gnome3 dont have such problem it works there. maybe something is missing in LMDE.

Bug or a feature, depends. It is fast user switching afterall:)
Personally, I see it doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Anyway, you reported it to https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint?

REQUEST TO MODS TO PLEASE MOVE THIS THREAD TO UNDER APPROPRIATE HEADINGS SO THAT EXPERTS CAN HELP SQUASH THIS BUG !!! THANKS
