Bug Description

When you lock the screen while the dash is open, the dash stays open in front of the lockscreen. It's still possible to enter the password and unlock normally, but the dash looks like it had focus.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open the dash (home, run command or hud)
* Lock the screen using the keyboard shortcut

The result is illustrated in the attached screenshot. I think the dash should close upon locking, or remain open in the background (I can't remember how it worked with the old lockscreen, but I think it would just close).

  * When the lockscreen is locked, force paint it on top. This isn't the
    perfect fix, but it a lot safer of a fix. (LP: #1291571)
  * When we are about to LockScreen(). Hide the Dash/Hud if an overlay
    is open! (LP: #1291383)
  * Clear the tooltips when going into the lockscreen. (LP: #1291503)
  * Cleartool tips when entering alt+tab mode. (LP: #1285889)
  * If the switcher is open when going into lockscreen, hide it! (LP:

i am using unity 7.2.0, trusty x64.
the above bug appears to be fixed when manually locking using CTRL+ALT+L but not when screen is set to turn-off and lock automatically after X minutes.

i set my screen to turn off in 5 minutes and lock screen when that happens. then i left the dash open. on resuming the screen turns on with dash open (like above screenshot by donarsson).

blindly typing in the passwd and pressing enter logs me in though.
