Title:
  Lock screen isn't cat-friendly (no input timemout)

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  gnome-screensaver's lock screen has an input timeout, so that if you,
  say, lock your screen and have a cat walk across your keyboard in the
  middle of the night, after N seconds (don't recall how long it is) of
  no input, it gives up and blanks the screen again.  The new unity lock
  screen appears to be missing this feature, as I woke up this morning
  to a password box filled with dots and a screen that had been on all
  night.

  It looks like maybe there had been a failed attempt to address this
  use-case, as once one clears the password field and logs in, a second
  or two later, the screen re-locks and you need to log in again.
