Bug Description

I Selected "Automatic login" during Installation. When i logged in a screen named "keyring " is displayed to prompt for a password. I know it is different from the login screen. It is not the bug. When i power-on the system and move out to have a tea and return back, the screen saver or the system lock does not occur. The reason is that the "keyring " password dialog would be displayed. as soon as i enter the password and click ok it returns to the log in page(the page that is displayed to relogin after a long period of inactivity).

If we are not entering password in the "keyring.." box, then we will be able to control the system. Use the system. I suppose this is a vulnerability issue. I am not a native english speaker. so pls ask if i am unclear at any part.

Ubuntu 10.10 Fully updated.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

The fact that gnome-screensaver doesn't come up when a dialog box is open demanding attention is a known issue. Marking this bug as a duplicate.
