Bug Description
On Oneiric and probably prior to this, I've noticed something a bit alarming. IF I close the lid and the system suspends, on opening the lid, there is a brief window where I can actually do things on the system before the screen locks, requiring a password.
THe basic flow is like this:
Close lid and wait for system to suspend.
Open lid
type stuff on an open terminal
Screensaver finally locks the screen
It may be brief, but this is a definite security risk. The screen should be locking BEFORE the system suspends on a lid close event. When you select suspend from the power menu, this is exactly what happens and is exactly what should happen when the lid is closed.
