Bug Description

In order to reproduce:

Open a Terminal
Press CTRL+ALT+L to lock the screen
right click the indicators some times
type and you will enter into the terminal not the password field

The easiest way to reproduce this is to play some music with mplayer in the terminal. If you can stop the music, skip a song etc. with your keys press CTRL+c to quit mplayer. Now you can type whatever you want and it will be executed.

This probably affects other Programs. I can even switch the terminal with the default shortcuts.
