Bug Description

When the screen is locked with gnome-screensaver, tooltips and gnome-panel frequently rise over the hack being displayed, even when locked. This is a potential security issue as information that is expected to be obscured by the screensaver hack is exposed.

I have recently had a big of enlightenment on this bug, I think. I seem to only have this problem when beryl is active, is that so for anyone else? Can anyone confirm that? If so we can close the bug again, because it'd be a beryl issue, I believe.

I can't reproduce it with compiz on gutsy, and since beryl is no more, I'll close this again :)
