Bug Description

Screen content is exposed although the screen is locked, and no login dialogue is accessible.

I discovered this in Google Chrome, and here is how to reproduce it:

1. Go to Google Picasa
2. Open album, select Slideshow.
3. Hit F11 to enter full screen
4. Lock screen (ctrl + alt + L) or wait for it to lock
5. Move mouse

The result:

1. Chrome as the top level window is shown with its content
2. No login dialogue is visible

To log in into Unity again, I killed chrome process - which enabled access to the login dialogue.

This also happens with other full screen applications - I have been noticing it with OpenNX consistently of late.
