Title:
  Screen locking let show screen content before password dialog

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

Bug description:
  Using classic desktop and compiz. If the session get auto-locked during screen-save, moving the mouse turn off the screen saver obfuscation and bring the screen visible to unauthenticated user without any password prompt.
  It is only after issuing a mouse click or some keyboard event that the screen goes black again and the password unlock dialog appears.

  This bug may allow unauthorized users seeing screen content and
  possibly use the session before the password dialog fires-up.
