Hi Russ,

This is normal if you have only one user account displayed in the Welcome
Screen (or if only one user account is available in the system). If that's
the case, the Screensaver tab will read "On resume, Password protect" rather
than "On resume, display Welcome Screen".

This is irrespective of the Fast User Switching status.
