Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Running latest Dapper on iBook G4 (PPC).
I have my screensaver require a password to log back in but it appears
the password can be subverted by pressing the power button. This brings
up the log out/shutdown/etc screen and pressing cancel returns you to
the desktop! Eeek, potential security blunder?
I think either the power-button shortcut should be disabled in locked
screen (my preference) or pressing cancel should return you to a locked
screensaver.
