Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Sorry I don't know the right package.

1. Use an application (like Thunderbird or Chromium)
2. Note the window title at the top
3. Lock the screen (e.g., put your computer to sleep)
4. View the locked screen state

Expected: No (or very little) elements of the unlocked state
Actual: Even though I haven't typed my password to unlock the computer, the 
application title of my last used application is displayed.

In fact, a locked state to me implies that I have security. I think no
elements of the indicator menus should be shown. Today, you can't use
them anyway so why not just hide them.
