Title:
  Original screen visible until try to do something - then login dialog

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  When I leave the computer and return I often see the original screen
  instead of the screensaver being activated.

  When I then want to do something (move the mouse, press a key), the
  screen gets black and the login dialog appears (as it should be). So
  the problem is just that the original screen does not get turned off
  and screensaver display (floating Ubuntu in my case) activated.
  However, the locking mechanism gets activated.

  It does not always occur, but sometimes (and cannot tell the
  difference in those cases). I tested a few times pressing CTRL+ALT+L
  when I leave - in those cases always everything worked fine - so this
  is my workaround so far.

  I would say, it is not really a security issue, but a "privacy issue".
  It could only be a security risk, if I would leave some passwords in
  clear text displayed (e.g. open documentation file).
