Critical bugs have always been solved in a fix first, push fix upstream
later approach. This is a critical bug. Companies could unwillingly give
up critical data because a screen didn't lock.

Title:
  screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  I'm running a fresh install of Dapper with screensaver set to 'blank
  screen', and 'lock screen when screensaver is active' enabled.

  If a panel menu (e.g. Applications) is open and the machine is left
  idle, the screen fails to lock. It fades out after the time period as
  expected, but the desktop reappears after a few seconds.
