Ok, then it's not gnome-screensaver. Gnome uses the shell to do screen
locking. Thanks.

Title:
gnome-screensaver only locks the screen a moment after resuming from
standby
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
If I lock my screen by pressing my system's "suspend" button and walk
away anyone can get and photograph a glimpse of my unlocked screen
just by pressing any key:
- the system wakes up and shows the contents of the theoretically-locked
screen
- keyboard input is activated allowing - if one is quick - to enter and
execute a command.
- the screen is locked. Alas! too late.
For Android and the iPhone more harmless ways to get glympses of the
unlocked system were treated as security scandals by heise.de and
golem.de (IT-centered german press services) => reporting this as a
security bug.
