*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

You have been subscribed to a public security bug:

When I lock the screen (CTRL-ALT-L) or if the screen locks itself due to
inactivity, I can often see through to the desktop programs that are
open and use them for a short time before the lock screen takes over
again and prompts for password. It usually only lasts for a few seconds.

For example, lock the screen, move the mouse, the screen wakes up and I
can see thunderbird or firefox and actually use them for a moment or
two, then the screen will lock again prompting for a password.

Does anyone know where I should start with this problem?

I'm using intel based graphics if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any help,
