Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2012-07-02 08:19:38 UTC 
After suspending gnome 3 ( jhbuild, head/ master ) the contents on _one_ of my dual screens is visible, and the password dialogue doesn't appear on the other one.

This causes information leakage ( everything on one monitor is visible to others) and makes it hard to input a password (impossible to say if the password dialogue is up or not) 

Attached is a photograph of the screens.

Driver details:
  AMD Radeon, opensource drivers.

Sounds like a gnome-screensaver issue?
Comment 3 Jeff Skaistis 2012-07-06 01:27:12 UTC 
This sounds like the same issue as Bug 679441.  I'm having the same behavior with Arch Linux using proprietary nvidia drivers. Also in my case having more than one virtual workspace active causes gnome-shell to spin at 100% CPU and will not display the password dialog. Have to kill the session to get it back.

Reverting to 3.4.1 fixes the issue.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2014-08-20 20:24:05 UTC 
The screen lock is now implemented directly in gnome-shell, not in
gnome-screensaver (as it was with older version of GNOME 3 and GNOME 2.x).

If the reported problems persists in recent versions of GNOME, please file a new bug against gnome-shell with the "lock-screen" component selected.

If your installation is an older version of GNOME that cannot be upgraded (such as an enterprise version), please use the appropriate support mechanism from your vendor, or your distribution instead.
