Bug Description
Running latest Dapper on iBook G4 (PPC).
I have my screensaver require a password to log back in but it appears the password can be subverted by pressing the power button. This brings up the log out/shutdown/etc screen and pressing cancel returns you to the desktop! Eeek, potential security blunder?
I think either the power-button shortcut should be disabled in locked screen (my preference) or pressing cancel should return you to a locked screensaver.

Can't confirm on i386 - however, if I press the power button, the logout
dialog will come up after the screen is unlocked. Having pressed it
several times, the dialog come up over and over again. So I agree that
the power button should be completely disabled when the screen is
locked.
