I have experienced a similar problem, it's 10.04 AMD64, an I use Compiz
and screensaver was 3D; however, my GPU is Intel's. It doesn't really
lock the whole system, just the screen, and even like that, windows
temporarily showed when I used Alt+Tab. They wouldn't stay, but it was
enough to bring up a terminal window and blindly pkill the screensaver...
