Description Florian Bäuerle 2012-10-26 13:24:36 UTC 
When locking the screen, the contents on the Desktop are shown (In Dual-Screen Setup, did not get bug this with my laptop outside the dock)

Ugh. Indeed this is reproducible, and this not related to dual-head.
For some reason, somewhere between nautilus, gnome-settings-daemon and mutter, the contents of the desktop window get painted to the MetaBackgroundActor we use to paint the desktop, the overview and the screenshield.

Note that nautilus was not running when this screenshot was taken.
Comment 4 Lionel Landwerlin 2012-11-27 17:33:27 UTC 
This happens because mutter/gnome-shell use the root window's texture to paint the background.
It happens that nautilus also paints its icons on the root window.
Comment 5 Giovanni Campagna 2012-11-27 17:41:33 UTC 
Ok so three bugs here:

- mutter uses the root background, which is not necessarily appropriate in the lock screen => covered in bug 682427
- nautilus draws part of the desktop on the root rather than a composited window over it
- gnome-settings-daemon does not notice nautilus dying and does not repaint the root background (confirmed by xprop -root)

Given that g-s-d/background may go away in 3.8, I'm reassigning this to nautilus.

Comment 7 Cosimo Cecchi 2013-02-21 03:58:57 UTC 
This is fixed in git master now, since we don't draw the desktop background anymore.
