Title:
  Unity Lockscreen still shows unlocked desktop while shutting down

Status in Unity:
  In Progress
Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This was reported and supposedly fixed in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1370017, but the
  bug is still present in the current Unity version in Trusty.  I've
  reported it in that bug already, but got ignored, so I'm opening a new
  bug about it.

  [Impact and Test Case]

  Steps to reproduce:
  1 - Log into Unity
  2 - Open a terminal.
  3 - Lock the screen
  4 - From the lockscreen, tell the computer to shut down / restart

  Expected behavior:
  * Session programs are closed while the screen is still locked
  * During shutdown, no user interaction is possible

  Observed behavior:
  * The lockscreen is gone immediately, with the rest of compiz (e.g. window decorations are not present)
  * But it's possible to interact with programs that are still running in the session for about 3 seconds

  Observed on an updated Trusty machine, running unity version
  7.2.5+14.04.20150521.1-0ubuntu1

  This bug is a security vulnerability because during those 3 seconds it
  could be possible to access and interact with sensitive information.
  Yes, it's short, but you could take a picture or even rm -rf / if
  there happened to be a root console available.
