Bug information included.

There are two aspects of the problem (and I consider it a security
issue). Both happen on a Locked Screen in Jaunty 9.04. Whenever a new
window needs to pop up (either an Ubuntu Update screen or an aMSN chat
window...) the two panel bars show up, as they are on an unlocked
screen, showing all running programs (inc. for example the currently
open Firefox webpage title, or the name of the chatter).

Furthermore, whenever there is an aMSN notification (about someone
logging in on msn, the whole desktop flashes (which includes the
background image, the panels, but not the desktop icon contents as far
as I have noticed), and after that the screen goes blank again.

The bug reveals "too much" about one's desktop. My only 'quick'
workaround is going to tty1 after Locking, so that at least I get a
terminal prompt, hoping people do not know how to go back to the X
server screen.
