Title:
  keychain password prompt prevents screen lock

Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I have a standard ubuntu installation with deja-dup running daily and a 
screen lock.
  deja-dup saves to a SMB share whose password is saved in the seahorse 
keychain.

  When I boot my system and log in, and just leave it running, after
  some time deja-dup starts backing up and causes seahorse to prompt for
  my keychain password. This prompt prevents the screen from locking
  automatically. When I enter my password, the screen is locked at once.

  In Ubuntu 14.04, this effect was the same - but sometimes the keychain
  password prompt would even overlay the already locked screen.  I have
  not seen this in 16.04.

  I think this is a security vulnerability since this makes the
  automatic screen lock unreliable.
