This bug is present in Pangolin as well. It is intermittent and I have not been able to figure out how to reproduce it but I believe it only happens when the screen locks after timeout rather than when I lock the screen with CTRL-ALT-L.
I have also noticed that if i have a virtualbox running, and focus is on the virtualbox when the screen locks, I can usually work in the virtualbox without entering my password to unlock the screen. However, as soon as I try to shift focus to Ubuntu the screen blanks to the desktop background and I am required to enter a password to continue. I noticed this in 11.10 as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259015 Title: Lock screen shows a dimmed desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/259015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
