Bug Description
Ubuntu 9.04
When I lock the screen and arrives the next day, when I touch the keyboard and wakes the screen to enter my password an image of the desktop is shown under a very short period of time before the password prompt is shown.
If someone has a camera it's possible to take a photo of the screen of how it looked just before it was locked.
I'm using dual screen and a Nvidia built in driver. The image is shown in the laptop monitor, maybe on the extra screen that's cloned (hard to see because it's syncing to long to see).
Please let me know if you need more information.

I'm using XFCE over Ubuntu 9.04 and I am experiencing the same issue.
This bug defeats the purpose of locking our screens to prevent others from viewing what we have on our desktops.
