Title:
Unity lockscreen lets applications capture keyboard input
Status in Unity:
New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I noticed that with the Vimium extension activated in Google Chrome, I
cannot unlock Unity's lockscreen because keyboard input is hijacked by
Vimium. The lockscreen really should not let this happen, and it can
even be considered a potential security vulnerability as it might
allow applications to capture a user's password.
I have noticed this before as well when using another application,
though I can't remember which one it was at the moment.
The workaround is to use the mouse to choose the Switch user-option,
but this is really not obvious to anyone who might encounter this bug.
