@Sebastien, I can try to put together a list of applications that once
you run them, you can do Ctrl-Alt-L and it works but this will take time
and I fear it will be futile. Let me give you an example of applications
you want to avoid when trying to reproduce this bug:

1) If you simply open up the network manager window after booting,  you
will not be able to reproduce this bug.

2) If you get a network manager notification after booting,  you will
not be able to reproduce this bug.

3) If you get a keyring notification,  you will not be able to reproduce
this bug.

4) If you simply open up System > Preferences Mouse you will not be able
to reproduce this bug.

To answer your questions - when reproducing do not start a nautilus
window, but the desktop can load. gnome-panel can load but do not click
on any items.

As I have mentioned above, the specific steps to reproduce this are
simple and have always given me the same result Please consider
rebooting into a new user and testing this:

-Boot into Jaunty 
-Without running any applications (or getting any notifications at boot) press 
Ctl-Alt-L

If you can't reproduce this issue. I can record myself with my camera.


@Toby, I was with Stefan when he showed me both issues. I recommended that he 
start a bug for each issue. As you can see, the description of the bug does not 
state anything about the "Locate Pointer" functionality. Stefan was confused 
when creating a bug, and so he created 2 similar bugs by accident.

Please refer to Bug # 354790 as a duplicate of Bug # 9441 and please
refer to this bug as dealing with the issue of locking the screen with
the keyboard at startup.

** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen
+ Ctl-Alt-L does not lock screen immediately after startup
