Screen unlocks before asking for password

Bug Description

My screen goes into lock, either by my doing, or automatically. When I come back and move the mouse, or enter something on the keyboard, I am briefly able to work as the user logged in. This has been long enough where I feel I could do some damage if I wanted to in may cases. The screen then locks and asks for a password, after a bit of moving around the system.

This has been happening since ubuntu 10.11 at least, and the 11.11 install was a clean install.

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so does not expect a backport
