Title:
  Can't security-lock screen from Take a Break screen

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  When gnome-typing-monitor enforces a break, there is no way to
  security-lock the screen from the Take A Break screen.  There should
  be a Lock Screen button on the Take A Break screen.  At the moment, if
  a typing break starts but you want to go away from your computer to
  take the break and need to lock your computer in order to do this,
  you're a bit stuck.

  A workaround is to enable the Postpone Break option, as this lets you
  postpone the break, lock the screen and go away.  However, I don't
  know of a workaround if breaks cannot be postponed (short of killing
  gnome-typing-monitor from the console).

  There should maybe also be an option to always require a password when
  the take a break period ends.
