Fast User Switching by default enables the screen lock when a user is switched away from. Could there be a problem with your screen lock?
Yes, when a session is switched away from, gnome-screensaver, at least (don't know about KDE / others)
Maybe it could/should use xdg-utils' and emit: xdg-screensaver lock on switching? (Hrm, unless someone/somewhere purposefully doesn't want the screen to lock on user switch)
