[Bug 1375271] Re: desktop or other past screen contents visible before lockscreen on resume
A form of this regression has now returned with a vengeance; I'm not
sure whether to make it into a new bug report or simply to re-open this
one, though.
For the past couple of days, resume-from-suspend behavior has frequently
been this:
- the lock screen appears at first to have been completely bypassed, and
the session appears restored on wakeup
- the cursor is visible on the screen and moves, but the mouse and
keyboard cannot actually interact with any objects on the screen
- using ctrl-alt-F(x) to raise a new terminal, then using ctrl-alt-F7 to
return to the x session, bringis back the lock screen. Actually logging
in to the other session is not necessary, and everything proceeds
normally once the lockscreen is brought up.

Bug description:
[Impact]
On resume from suspend, screen contents are displayed for a brief time
(perhaps 0.5 to 1 sec) before the lock dialog appears.
These screen contents are not always the desktop or open application
beneath the lock screen. On at least one occasion, the screen showed
content from a full-screen video that had been playing in Firefox some
time before the computer had been suspended: neither the video nor its
underlying tab were open anymore, so the image(s) was likely part of a
buffer somewhere. (Needless to say, if the wrong full-screen video had
been watched, depending on the setting, this could be a quite serious
issue for some users).
[Test Case]
Suspend and resume the computer (closing the lid or using the session
indicator). Since this problem involves a race condition, it is not
reliably reproducable at will.
[Regression Potential]
This fix unmaps windows when a suspend or shutdown event occurs: it
is possible that the window(s) do not get remapped when a wake event
occurs, or the wake even does not get propagated. This does not
appear to occur in practice.
[Other Info]
The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU was cherry-picked from upstream Unity where
it has been released in the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" development release
for a couple of months with no apparent regressions.
