Description Ciarán O'Riordan 2006-07-03 13:28:50 UTC 
(Sorry, I'm probably filing this against the wrong package, but I did my best and couldn't find a more appropriate package - the typing break screen has no "about" menu)

When a typing break begins, I often walk away from my computer.  If I walked away from my computer for any other reason, I would lock my screen (passworded screen saver), but in the typing break situation, I don't get the chance, so my computer is left vulnerable.

I don't know how difficult it is to code, but designing the fix is easy: stick a "lock screen" button on the typing break screen.
