This bug is occurring to me still in Ubuntu 13.04, the fix released in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627262 might not be affecting Unity interface so it is still affecting most Ubuntu users.

This dialog prevents the screen to lock, so after some inactivity the computer will still be unlocked. This dialog grabs all the keyboard input, but not all the mouse input, so you can still fiddle around an do bad things. Just after the dialog is closed (cancelled or accepted) the screen is locked. If the dialog also grabbed the mouse input, this would solve the security issue. But if someone is there inputting the password, it's weird to lock the screen after some activity. So, my proposal is simple: just lock the screen, ignoring this dialog. I can't see a reason for this dialog to be blocking the screensaver or whatever. This is causing some security and also usability issues.
