Ok, I tested it and I do get a dialogue box asking for a password when
resuming from suspend mode.

If you still want to report it however it should be against
gnome-screensaver.

Also check with ps aux | grep gnome-screensaver to verify if there aren't
several processes running. Also try killing all those processes and suspend
the machine to test.

I had problem in the past where gnome-screensaver doesn't exit properly
after entering a password.
