[Launchpad Bug Tracker <885669@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

1. Full screen an application, say, for example, a  presentation in a web browser
2. Suspend
3. Resume

You'll see a screen with whatever was on the screen when you suspended,
but you won't see the screensaver unlock dialog. Try to type or use the
mouse and you'll get what appears to be no response. However, if you
type your password and hit enter then suddenly everything becomes
responsive again.

Alternatively, switch to a terminal and kill the full-screen app. Then
the screensaver unlock dialog is visible.

Marked as a security vulnerability, because it means the contents of my
screen from before suspend is revealed on resume.

I have just reproduced the bug again. First time, I saw it was last
night when I was about to give a presentation. I ended up having to give
the presentation from memory without slides, which was uncomfortable for
everyone.
