Re: [Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open
I'm still on this boat. It makes the security of Linux into a veritable laughing stock.

I expect my notebook to be locked if I close the lid. More and more everyday devices like phones and pads trains that expectation and establish screen locks as a tight security feature.

Re: [Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open
I agree with Josh 110%. Kernel bugs are fixed and pushed upstream by Canonical folks. Why not GTK bugs / issues? How about security issues for that matter? Waiting 5 1/2 years for a security fix is pretty sad regardless of whos fault it is or who maintains the code. As a customer of Canonical, I don't care who maintains the code -- I put the bug into Canonical's bug system, so I expect someone from Canonical to follow through on it. Simple as that.
