This gets more and more important by today, as most users doesn't
shutdown their system but use standby. 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. So somet

Not a simple fix? Perhaps not, but it's not 5.5 years of complex either.
And you listed two solutions, neither of which were good.
Solution: When screen lock seeks to activate, it emits a signal which
overrides the mouse and keyboard grabs from all other processes while
the screen is locked. Then
This is a limitation in how X handles keyboard grabbing. Essentially,
when GTK opens a menu, it needs to grab keyboard and mouse. When that
happens, gnome-screensaver cannot exclusively grab the keyboard.
There are two ways to fix this: 1- Redesign how X handles keyboard
grabbing, and probably bre

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,
Critical bugs have always been solved in a fix first, push fix upstream
later approach. This is a critical bug. Companies could unwillingly give
up critical data because a screen didn't lock.

If you read that Redhat bug - and specifically my comment on it - you

The worrying thing is that it doesn't lock the screen immediately..
there is a couple of seconds where a user could close a window or launch
an application.. perhaps even a script from an automounted drive.. if

I've also noticed that the screen doesn't lock in the following
circumstance:
1. Open a right-click menu.
2. Suspend the machine.
3. Wake the machine.
The right-click menu will still be open, and the screen will not be
locked.
Is this close enough to stay in this bug?
