shutdown their system but use standby. I expect my notebook to be locked
if I close the lid. More and more everyday devices like phones and pads
trains that expectation and establish screen locks as a tight security
feature. So
I'm still on this boat. It makes the security of Linux into a veritable
laughing stock.

Please raise the importance level as this IS a security issue that
creates situations where others can gain access to the computer in
situations the owner feels save.

Notice how many duplicate bugs there are. Yeah... If Canonical were to
have one goal for v. 12.04. fixing what is perhaps the
oldest legitimate bug in all of Ubuntu should be priority #1, especially
since this is a security flaw.

This is a design flaw in GTK. This needs to be fixed upstream.

This is a limitation in how X handles keyboard grabbing. Essentially,
when GTK opens a menu, it needs to grab keyboard and mouse. When that
happens, gnome-screensaver cannot exclusively grab the keyboard.

And you listed two solutions, neither of which were good.
Solution: When screen lock seeks to activate, it emits a signal which
overrides the mouse and keyboard grabs from all other processes while
the screen is locked. Then
This bug is still present in Natty. I discovered it some days ago with
an open indicator menu. Didn't know that it had so big a backstory. But
now I understand that this is a more general problem.
