Title:
Ability to launch/view apps from lock screen
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I've come across a problem where I am able to perform several tasks
from the lock screen which should not be possible. This includes:
- Viewing desktop windows currently running as the logged-in user
- Launching programs as the logged-in user
- Closing windows of running programs
- Enabling/disabling network interfaces and joining networks
I don't believe there's a way to interact with the running programs -
it's only possible to start a program and view its preview thumbnail.
Another note is that I had to press Super+L twice to lock the screen,
which has been mentioned in other recent bugs.
The unfortunate part is that my PC has been running for days and I
have absolutely no idea how I got it into this state. I upgraded it
from 18.04 to 18.10 earlier this week. It was a clean 18.04 install
from a few months back. I haven't done anything that I would consider
a desktop customisation.
I've taken some crude hand-held video of the issue.

I could not show the entire Thunderbird window as it displayed my
email address. However it's there.
