Bug Description

Binary package hint: xscreensaver

I suspend my system for ~15min. When I resume xscreensaver will lock just as it should. However, there will be a moment where the desktop is clearly visible prior to locking.

I'm using 9.10 but this happens in 9.04 as well. Right now I'm using the 5.08-0ubuntu3 version of xscreensaver.

This bug is reported against xscreensaver and no desktop environment is specified. I think this should be duplicate of Bug #1229486 rather than Bug #1054299.
