Bug Description
When I'm away from my Ubuntu laptop for a while the screen becomes black (I think it powers down) as expected. If then I move the mouse or hit any key the last screen is shown for about one to two seconds (I think depending on the workload of the machine) before the password prompt is displayed. This allows strangers to retrieve confidential information even from a screen locked computer.
Obviously, the expected behaviour is to not show the last screen but display the password prompt immediately.
