** Description changed:

  This seems like a recent regression on Oneiric (or perhaps I haven't
  noticed it before):
  
  On resume from suspend, the contents of the desktop are often briefly
  visible before being hidden behind the lock screen.  This is a security
  problem if there happens to be sensitive information on the screen.
+ 
+ 
+ =====Analysis from mdeslaur=====
+ This is likely what happens:
+ 
+ 1- Something grabs mouse: ie: virtual machine window, or GTK menu in an 
application or an indicator
+ 2- Screensaver attempts to start, but cannot get exclusive lock on mouse
+ 3- DPMS turns monitor black
+ 4- User moves mouse, which turns the screen back on
+ 5- Mouse movement causes mouse to get ungrabbed by vm window or gtk menu
+ 6- Screensaver can now grab mouse, and starts
+ 
+ This is all related to the fact that X does not have an API that will
+ let the screensaver tell an application to release mouse and keyboard
+ grabs.

** Project changed: unity => compiz
