Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-01-27 19:54:31 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #668551 +++

I'm on Fedora Rawhide, with mostly GNOME 3.3 packages now and gnome-screensaver-3.2.0-2.fc17.x86_64 .

I have dual heads - both Dell 20" 1920x1080 screens in portrait orientation.

Often, when I wake up from suspend or just come back from a timeout-induced screen lock, the monitors will show my desktop for a few seconds before fading out to the lock screen. Sometimes I can even interact with the desktop during this time, so this has security implications as well as simply being very bad polish.

I think this was mostly 'fixed' for a bit during F16 release time frame, but has since gotten worse again.

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.
