@jamesh your stack trace is caused by Ubuntu Dock's dynamic transparency which I mentioned before in Comment #17 and can be disabled with the following terminal command:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode FIXED -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769383 Title: Ubuntu dock/launcher is shown on the lock screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-shell source package in Cosmic: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in gnome-shell source package in Disco: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock source package in Disco: In Progress Bug description: After an update from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 the dock is aviable on the lockscreen after user login. I did not configure this knowingly. Also i can start every application which is available on the dock. Settings, virtual box, visualstudio code and so on. After the update to 18.04 i just configure the screen frequency to 144Hz and the night mode on. And attach the dock on bottom. I later undid these customizations back to configuration before, but the dock is stil aviable on lockscreen.
