With Precise it seems that also Alt key-press events are going through
the screen lock, i.e. the HUD opens, if Alt is pressed while screen is
locked.

Title:
Screen lock does not grab all keys
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When screen is locked with gnome screensaver, it is still possible to
send Win-key event to the underlaying desktop. I think there should be
no way to interact with the underlaying desktop without unlocking.
To reproduce:
1. Start from Unity session. Make sure that Dash is not open.
2. Lock screen from the top-right gear button
3. Press shift to make the unlock dialog appear
4. Press Windows key
5. Type in your password and unlock the screen
What should happen:
The desktop should be in the same state it was left before the locking. Dash
should not be open.
What happens:
Dash has been opened, i.e. the Windows key event was passed to desktop
although it was locked.
Wonder if it is possible to pass through any other key events. Didn't
find any though with a quick test.
