Bug Description

When you "Suspend" or "Lock" the computer you can bypass the password screen by activating the drag with mouse effect on the compiz cube (default keybind is cntrl-alt-left click(and drag)). This is on Hardy Heron. Don't know exactly where the problem is caused from but I believe it's either in the package for the cube or Ubuntu's security. I expected it would just ignore the command and the security system would override it. Instead... see above.
