I REinstalled the "lock screen" package.
now I choose "system > lock screen" to get the screensaver (real lock), then in order to prevent freezing I click ctrl+alt+f4 to get the command line.

unfortunately choosing "system > logout > switch user" will STILL show
my 'protected' desktop to less then a second before demanding a
password, & if stay on the screensaver will freez my desktop!

Title:
  alt+f7 gain full access to a password protected account

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On ubuntu 10.04, I choose System > Disconnect > Swich User,
  then at the login screen I click Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get a command line over a black screen. the problem: clicking Alt+F7 redirect back to my password 'protected' desktop WITHOUT entering password!

  How is it possible and how can I fix it?

  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  apt-cache policy login
  login:
    Installed: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:4.1.4.2-1ubuntu2.2

  I expect to go back to the login screen, NOT skipping the password.
  the whole idea of a password is to protect the data...

  p.s
  I can't use "lock screen" because it aventualy freeze my desktop, & the only release is the "reset" button.
