I just tried this on current precise with a full screen firefox and an
external display, and it works fine. On resuming I see the screen saver
unlock dialog, type my password, and I'm back to firefox.

Can somebody else confirm this?

Title:
  Unlock dialog not visible after resuming when there's a full screen
  application

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

Bug description:
  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.
