Another workaround that I used for Cinnamon. I can't imagine it would be too much trouble to adapt it to other window managers:
1. Use dconf-editor to change the button-suspend action at org>cinnamon >settings-daemon>plugins>power to 'nothing' (you could also amend lid- close-ac-action and lid-close-battery-action as well if you're using a laptop). 2. Save the following script to a convenient location (it locks the screen, then suspends): #!/bin/bash cinnamon-screensaver-command -l systemctl suspend 3. Use the System Settings app (cinnamon-settings) to create a custom keybinding for the sleep key that points to the script. After this it behaves as it should. You can see the lock screen pop up briefly before it goes to sleep, which is reassuring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280300 Title: Desktop contents displayed on resume, before lock screen is shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1280300/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
