I REinstalled the "lock screen" package. now I choose "system > lock screen" to get the screensaver (real lock), then in order to prevent freezing I click ctrl+alt+f4 to get the command line.
unfortunately choosing "system > logout > switch user" will STILL show my 'protected' desktop to less then a second before demanding a password, & if stay on the screensaver will freez my desktop! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881147 Title: alt+f7 gain full access to a password protected account Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On ubuntu 10.04, I choose System > Disconnect > Swich User, then at the login screen I click Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get a command line over a black screen. the problem: clicking Alt+F7 redirect back to my password 'protected' desktop WITHOUT entering password!
