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

Status in Compiz:
  New
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.


  =====Analysis from mdeslaur=====
  This is likely what happens:

  1- Something grabs mouse: ie: virtual machine window, or GTK menu in an application or an indicator
  2- Screensaver attempts to start, but cannot get exclusive lock on mouse
  3- DPMS turns monitor black
  4- User moves mouse, which turns the screen back on
  5- Mouse movement causes mouse to get ungrabbed by vm window or gtk menu
  6- Screensaver can now grab mouse, and starts

  This is all related to the fact that X does not have an API that will
  let the screensaver tell an application to release mouse and keyboard
  grabs.
