Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Hi,

I have locked my screen, using Gnome's "Lock Screen" keyboard shortcut
(so it was black). While the screen was locked, I connected an iPod, and
the locked screen was shown.

I believe it is a bug (possibly a security vulnerability), it should be
impossible to view a locked screen without entering the password.
