Bug Description

When screen is locked and unlock dialog is displayed applications is still accessible by keyboard.
Example, by pressing ALT+F4 I can close active window or by pressing ALT+F2 I can access "run application" dialog and type some ugly stuff like "shutdown -h now" or something much worth.

I am using Gutsy on IBM R50e
Also this bug tested on other computers running latest Gutsy.

Thanks for this report! However, I cannot reproduce this. Which release of Gutsy were you using? (Beta, RC, Daily, etc)

I am installed RC with daily updates.

To reproduce this bug:
lock the screen -> move mouse until unlock dialog is displayed -> Press for example ALT+F2 which will open "Run Application" dialog in background (login dialog will lose the focus) -> unlock computer -> "Run Application" dialog is visible as active window.

I am not familiar with bug reports so maybe I need to post log file or something?!

I cannot reproduce this on up to date Gutsy. Using Gnome with metacity.

What flavor of Ubuntu are you using? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, ...?

I am using latest (up-to-date) Ubuntu 7.10 with Compiz. Week ago I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy.

I have no clue what else can I do or how can I catch the real reason of this bug. It just stands there on my laptop as well as at least on one other desktop (up-to-date Ubuntu 7.10 with Compiz).

If you need some debug or log information just give me a hint what can I do to get it!
