I can't reproduce what you are describing with Epoptes on Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome), even if I execute tuxpaint --fullscreen. Could you describe the exact steps you followed?
The truth is that when locking the screen we only block/grab the keyboard and leave the mouse. But we should grab it too, as I just found out that you can indeed "bypass" (in another way than the one you describe) lock-screen: If you keep the mouse click pressed - *before* the admin locks your screen - on the title bar of a window e.g. terminal, then the lock-screen app doesn't grab the keyboard and the focus remains on the previous window. So if the window was a terminal, he could execute whatever command. I think this would be solved, though, if we grab the mouse too, when locking the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Linux Greek Teachers, which is subscribed to sch-scripts. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880774 Title: screen-lock can be bypassed Status in Epoptes: New Status in Scripts for Greek school labs using Ubuntu/LTSP: New Bug description: when running a fullscreen program (eg tuxpaint) the user can bypass the screen lock just by clicking outside hiw window (tux paint runs in fullscreen -changes resolution to a lower one- and the screen lock shows the whole screen, but the lock is within the smaller window) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/epoptes/+bug/880774/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linux.sch.gr Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linux.sch.gr More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
