gnome-screensaver does not hide gnome-do completely while using twin view

[Caspar Clemens Mierau]

Binary package hint: gnome-do

Gnome-Do on Ubuntu Karmic in a twin view dual monitor setup is not hidden completely by a gnome-screensaver locked screen. In fact the gnome-do task bar is still shown and partly usable though the login dialog is shown.

Reproduce:

Use Gnome with two displays, start "gnome-shell --replace" and launch gnome-screensaver (e.g. by "ctrl-alt-l"). The screen will be blacked out completely for a second but then the gnome-shell bar comes back and is clickable. You can see this as the focussed application changes.

Depending on the used applets this might be a security risk. At least the users privacy is endangered.

As I don't know if this bug is against gnome-shell or gnome-screensaver I'll mark both as affected.

See the attached screenshot showing both screens at once.

This is NOT a bug with GNOME Do!

My guess is this is a bug with GNOME Shell. The price you pay for running unreleased software. ;-) Please file against that proper package.

Sorry, I just mixed gnome-do and gnome-shell. But let me add that just marking this as invalid is quite bad triaging as the bug exists within official Ubuntu packages. So updating this report would have been more friendly and more productive. And there is no need of telling a user that he needs not pay a price.

I filed a new report, so never mind.

Robert did the right thing, the bug IS invalid for GNOME Do. It's not our
job to manage all bugs for Ubuntu, we are Do maintainers.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

This bug was filed in a pre-release version of gnome-shell in karmic, which has reached end of life. Could you verify if the issue persists with the final version in oneiric?
