On Oneiric and probably prior to this, I've noticed something a bit
alarming. IF I close the lid and the system suspends, on opening the
lid, there is a brief window where I can actually do things on the
system before the screen locks, requiring a password.
THe basic flow is like this:
Close lid and wait for system to suspend.
Open lid
type stuff on an open terminal
Screensaver finally locks the screen
It may be brief, but this is a definite security risk. The screen
should be locking BEFORE the system suspends on a lid close event. When
you select suspend from the power menu, this is exactly what happens and
is exactly what should happen when the lid is closed.
