Title: gnome-shell lock screen does not display password prompt Status in GNOME Screensaver: Invalid Status in GNOME Shell: Fix Released Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have two monitors, the laptop screen and an external one connected via display port. When I do 'ctrl-alt-L' in gnome-shell to lock the screen, the laptop screen displays the screen background and the second monitor displays whatever was on it before locking the screen. When I press a key, no password prompt appears - the laptop continues to display the background. However, entering the password at this point unlocks the computer.
