Title:
  very long delay to display login prompt if there are a large number of
  uncleared desktop notifications

Status in fprintd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When waking my laptop screen up at the lock screen, it takes a very
  long time to display the password prompt (definitely longer than 30s,
  possibly longer than 1m - I didn't time it).  I notice that while
  waiting for the password prompt, the screen is showing a full list of
  (obfuscated) desktop notifications.  After logging in, I used the
  gnome-shell interface to clear the notifications; then I locked my
  screen again, at which point hitting the space bar caused the password
  prompt to show up immediately.

  So it looks like the time to display the password prompt might scale
  linearly with the number of notifications; which is not useful,
  because there is a finite number of (obfuscated!) notifications that
  will be displayed on the lock screen, and AFAIK you can't interact
  with them through the lock screen at all.  So we shouldn't be wasting
  time processing (and presumably rendering) notifications that will
  never be visible.
