Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Sorry I don't know the right package.

1. Use an application (like Thunderbird or Chromium)
2. Note the window title at the top
3. Lock the screen (e.g., put your computer to sleep)
4. View the locked screen state

Expected: No (or very little) elements of the unlocked state
Actual: Even though I haven't typed my password to unlock the computer, the application title of my last used application is displayed.

In fact, a locked state to me implies that I have security. I think no elements of the indicator menus should be shown. Today, you can't use them anyway so why not just hide them.

I have also seen this behavior. I presume it is in the upstream GNOME screen lock components. 12.04 will be using LightDM for the lock screen, so this specific issue should go away at that point.

This is most likely a compiz layering issue. Reassigning.
