Public bug reported:
Sometimes in 18.10 when I unlock my screen (well, not actually "unlock",
since I don't have the screensaver configured to lock, so more
accurately, when I disable the screensaver), I end up on a screen which
looks like the computer still sort of thinks the screensaver is
activated. My regular background isn't there, my system tray app
indicators are missing, and the system tray menu looks like the one that
shows when the screensaver is activated, but at the same time, there's a
launch tray at the left side of the screen, and the rest of the
ornamentation that usually displays when the screensaver is activated is
missing. See the attached screenshot.
Nothing I do at this point seems to have any effect, e.g. I can't
launch app windows from the tray.
This particular time this happened that has prompted me to report it was
when I was accessing my desktop remotely (that's how I got a
screenshot), but I _think_ I've also seen it when walking up to my desk
and turning off the screensaver locally by hitting the Enter key. I.e.,
I don't _think_ this bug is related to using a remote desktop, but I
can't be 100% certain. If I do notice it again when I'm local I'll
update this bug to confirm.
