I want to make a simple script to go to the login screen and sleep the display on 11.10, as I find the login screen much prettier than the 'lock screen' prompt. However, I cannot find a single reference to switching to the login screen (without logging out) from a terminal or shell script.
I would also appreciate suggestions for sleeping the display after switching to the login screen, or as one whole script if possible.
Thanks
edit: This is with Unity 3D (as far as I know), I don't really know what the difference between that and Gnome is.
