Title:
locking screen should not switch to greeter
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Currently, when selecting "lock" from the session indicator, the user
is switched to the greeter.
This breaks a whole slew of functionnality:
1- The switch is done before waiting for the screen to actually be
locked properly, resulting in the user session not being locked
properly presumably because gnome-screensaver couldn't get a keyboard
and/or mouse grab in time. Switching to the user's vt displays the
desktop for an instant before the screen actually locks.
2- Switching to the greeter revokes the user's device access,
resulting in music not playing anymore, alarm sounds not ringing, etc.
I fully expect to be able to start my music player, and have the music
playing while I lock my screen.
3- The user's power preferences are no longer applied as expected when
the greeter is being displayed.
4- The user experience is inconsistent with other ways of locking the
screen, such as waiting for the timeout to occur, or pressing on Ctrl-
Alt-L.
