This is a really bad issue, and frankly makes Linux security look like a bit of a joke. This is what I did to get around it for the suspend key on my desktop: 1. Use dconf-editor to change the button-suspend action at org>cinnamon >settings-daemon>plugins>power to 'nothing' (you could also amend lid- close-ac-action and lid-close-bettery-action as well if you're using a laptop). 2. Save the following script to a convenient location (also works with gnome-screensaver-command): #!/bin/bash cinnamon-screensaver-command -l systemctl suspend 3. Use the System Settings app to create a custom keybinding for the sleep key that points to my script. After this it behaves as it should. You can see the lock screen pop up briefly before it goes to sleep, which is reassuring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830348 Title: desktop contents briefly visible on resume from suspend before lock dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/830348/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
