Bug Description
When Virtual-Box is running a Windows session full screen and the nix host locks the screen, no keyboard is being sent to the unlock screen, but is being sent to the Virtual-Box session instead. This can be verified by remoting in to the Windows machine with another box and watching a text-input such as notepad as the user tries to unlock the nix host. The only resolution is to remote in to the Windows session and shut it down at which point the keyboard is directed to the nix unlock screen properly and the machine can be unlocked. It is also possible to switch to a desktop that does not have the full-screen Windows session, but a regular nix desktop and when the screen locks there is no problem unlocking it. This is unique to the recent "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" upgrade - it did not occur in 13.10.

Are you sure this bug is with light-locker?
By default, Unity/Ubuntu doesn't use light-locker but instead comes with a built-in locker and the problem you're describing sounds similar to a known issue with it. /bugs.launchpad .net/bugs/ 1305586)
