Bug Description

After my screen is turned off due to inactivity and I return to the PC (after the screen has been turned off for some time) and move the mouse the login screen (for locked session) is displayed, but not immediately - the last visible screen before I left the PC is visible for some instants (can be up to several seconds if the system is under load) and reveals what should be protected by session locking. `lightdm` does the job better by showing the session lock screen immediately.
