So is this marked as a security bug?  Because I think it's very clearly 
something that needs to be fixed ~yesterday.
This occurs for me when the system resumes from standby as well as when 
the screen wakes up after having turned itself off.

Title:
  desktop contents briefly visible on resume from suspend before lock
  dialog

Status in Unity 2D:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  This seems like a recent regression on Oneiric (or perhaps I haven't
  noticed it before):

  On resume from suspend, the contents of the desktop are often briefly
  visible before being hidden behind the lock screen.  This is a
  security problem if there happens to be sensitive information on the
  screen.
