Package: xlockmore-gl
Version: 1:5.13-2
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole


I have set up my FVWM so windows related to Gaim always are put on the
same virtual desktop.  Occassionally Gaim creates a new window without
any user interaction (for example when loosing network connection or
when receiving a new message).  When this happens FVWM switches to the
relevant virtual desktop and puts the new Gaim window there.  When
this happens and `xlock` is running, `xlock` dies and anybody can get
access to my account.

`xlock` is started with the command `xlock -mode blank` (through a
FVWM menu).

I haven't tested with other programs than Gaim (yet).

I haven't tested with starting `xlock` directly from a command line (yet).
