Open indicator menu prevents automatic screen locking

[Benjamin]

An open indicator menu prevents the screensaver/screenlock from kicking in. Happened today to me. I paused Banshee in the Sound Menu and left my computer. When I came back the screen was not locked but instead as I left it with the Sound Menu open. After closing the menu, my screen was locked. So it seems the automatic screenlocking does indeed work, but only after all menus have been closed.
To me this looks at least concerning security, because a casual safety measure does not work as expected.

Ubuntu 11.04, Classic Gnome
indicator-applet 0.4.12-0ubuntu1
