Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Normally my screen locks when the computer has been idle for a while. If I open the new sound-applet to turn off my music before I leave and l leave the cursor above the applet, then the screen wont lock entirely.
1. The screen does not go black, but stay the the way it was when i left it.
2. If i move the cursor around to the bluetooth applet or mail-applet I can access these programs.
3. if I get the cursor away from any of these panel-applets the screen will lock instantly.
So I am able to connect/disconnect bluetooth devices with no password. And maybe other tings, that I haven't noticed yet.
