When running screen saver, attacker having physical access to the LOCKED computer, can see what was on our screen that we locked (i.e. important document, email with passwords, etc etc).

1. run screensaver
2. move the mouse

This bug bring so many memories!

I remember reporting it around 2008, and also in 2007.

But no need to rush too much, we can wait few more years.

Ubuntu 9.04 amd64, nvidia driver, gnome default.

Probably using nvidia and/or running fullscreen program or switching otherwise the resolution is a factor to reproduce this problem.
