(thanks, in advance, everyone for all the gratuitous hard work that
makes Ubuntu great).

I'm using Oneiric x64 on a Vaio VPCZ13KGX and this has been a problem
for me as well.  However it only manifests when resuming from
sleep/suspend.  I am using UnityUI in the default 3D-mode, and have the
Intel GPU enabled only (not using the nVIDIA GPU at all).

I can see the desktop's contents for up to 2 seconds sometimes and can
interact with the desktop before the lockscreen dialog appears.

It would appear to be as simple as the suspend occurs before the gnome
lock event.  Is re-ordering that a simple twiddle of some config files
somewhere or is it worse than that?

In the meantime my work-around is to switch to an empty workspace before
suspending.

Title:
  desktop contents briefly visible on resume from suspend before lock
  dialog

Status in Unity 2D:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This seems like a recent regression on Oneiric (or perhaps I haven't
  noticed it before):

  On resume from suspend, the contents of the desktop are often briefly
  visible before being hidden behind the lock screen.  This is a
  security problem if there happens to be sensitive information on the
  screen.
