[Bug 452450] [NEW] gnome-screensaver does not hide gnome-shell completely while using twin view

[Caspar Clemens Mierau]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-shell

Gnome Shell on Ubuntu Karmic in a twin view dual monitor setup is not
hidden completely by a gnome-screensaver locked screen. In fact the
gnome-shell task bar is still shown and partly usable though the login
dialog is shown.

Reproduce:

Use Gnome with two displays, start "gnome-shell --replace" and launch
gnome-screensaver (e.g. by "ctrl-alt-l"). The screen will be blacked out
completely for a second but then the gnome-shell bar comes back and is
clickable. You can see this as the focussed application changes.

Depending on the used applets this might be a security risk. At least
the users privacy is endangered locally.

As I don't know if this bug is against gnome-shell or gnome-screensaver
I'll mark both as affected.

See the attached screenshot showing both screens at once.
