Title:
keychain password prompt prevents screen lock
Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:

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.
