Bug Description

Could reproduce on 10.04 and 10.10.

Set the screen saver to activate after 1 minute. Then place your mouse on the Application->Games Menu (possibly another too) and then wait for more then a minute. The screen saver does not lock the screen. After that if you take your mouse and click outside the menu then the screen will be locked after ~5 seconds.

Could reproduce on almost any menu (including the top right).

Once you take back the mouse after waiting longer than then screen saver locking time you still have the time to do one quick action
