With Precise it seems that also Alt key-press events are going through the screen lock, i.e. the HUD opens, if Alt is pressed while screen is locked.

I think there should be no way to interact with the underlaying desktop without unlocking. To reproduce: 1. Start from Unity session. Make sure that Dash is not open. 2. Lock screen from the top-right gear button 3. Press shift to make the unlock dialog appear 4. Press Windows key 5. Type in your password and unlock the screen What should happen: The desktop should be in the same state it was left before the locking. Dash should not be open. What happens: Dash has been opened, i.e. the Windows key event was passed to desktop although it was locked. Wonder if it is possible to pass through any other key events. Didn't find any though with a quick test.
