Bug description:
  I can still bypass the logscreen by rightclicking the indicators some
  times and then pressing CTRL+ALT+t.

  I lock the screen with CTRL+ALT+L.

  Then i rightclick on the indicators ( volume, calendar, shutdown) a
  few times. I have not yet figured out if one of them is the cause...
  But pressing CTRL+ALT+T shortly after some of those events will open a
  terminal that i can type into and that will execute commands.
