This is likely what happens: 1- Something grabs mouse: ie: virtual machine window, or GTK menu in an application or an indicator 2- Screensaver attempts to start, but cannot get exclusive lock on mouse 3- DPMS turns monitor black 4- User moves mouse, which turns the screen back on 5- Mouse movement causes mouse to get ungrabbed by vm window or gtk menu 6- Screensaver can now grab mouse, and starts
This is all related to the fact that X does not have an API that will let the screensaver tell an application to release mouse and keyboard grabs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830348 Title: desktop contents briefly visible on resume from suspend before lock dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/830348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
