Bug Description
Suspend works alright on my Asus 62E (Zareason lightlap) but when I wake the machine up from suspending, it briefly shows the entire screen contents before giving a pssword /login prompt to allow the user to authenticate. This means anyone coming across the machine when asleep can get a glimpse (it's more than a glimpse, often) of whatever was in veiwe before sleep was engaged. This is a privacy / security threat. Moreover, it didn't used to happen until 8.10 (I believe) or some update since. Is it just that some graphics buffer needs to be cleared before sleeping?

Thanks for this bug report. Does this problem still occur in a recent Ubuntu release like Karmic?
