Title:
  Lockscreen can be bypassed after screen has blanked

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Lock the screen
  2. Let the lockscreen blank
  3. Press ALT+TAB

  What happens:
  The application switcher appears and it's possible to switch between applications. The chosen application will get keyboard focus and any input will go there.

  What should happen:
  Nothing. Lockscreen should grab the keyboard and stop the input from going anywhere.

  This has security implications. For example it's possible to open the
  "Run command" view and run "unity --replace" to destroy the lockscreen
  and open the session.
