I know this bug since years. When setting my Thinkpad on the
Dockingstation while it was sleeping it sometimes happens that the
gnome-shell just starts without asking for a password. And I don't even
have to extract the harddisk. I remember some guys of the ubuntu
community told me years ago that's a known issue with Xorg and gnome-
shell. I did not file a bug or was looking for a known bug because it
happened very seldom but the bug persisted many years and I don't know
if it was fixed until now for sure.
