Title:
  screen does not lock when closing lid until after you open lid again

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Oneiric and probably prior to this, I've noticed something a bit
  alarming.  IF I close the lid and the system suspends, on opening the
  lid, there is a brief window where I can actually do things on the
  system before the screen locks, requiring a password.

  THe basic flow is like this:

  Close lid and wait for system to suspend.
  Open lid 
  type stuff on an open terminal
  Screensaver finally locks the screen

  It may be brief, but this is a definite security risk.  The screen
  should be locking BEFORE the system suspends on a lid close event.
  When you select suspend from the power menu, this is exactly what
  happens and is exactly what should happen when the lid is closed.
