** Description changed:

  Sometimes when the screen is locked and I press a key to unlock it, I
  see my entire desktop and open windows under the password dialog box.
  That's a security problem.
  
  I believe this is a compositing / video memory issue, because of the
  following factors:
  
+ 
  1.) It is intermittent, but occurs most when the screen is "busy" (lots of 
graphics-heavy windows open).
- 2.) I can almost always reproduce it by doing something video-intensive, such 
as x11perf.
- 3.) Sometimes everything will be visible except that one or two windows, or 
the "active" portions thereof, will be blacked out.
- 4.) I have seen other compositing / video memory glitches, such as the 
contents of a previously closed window appearing briefly in a newly opened 
window before it completes drawing (another security issue in its own right).
- 5.) The desktop is shown as it appeared when the screen was locked, and does 
not update while locked.
- 6.) I am unable to reproduce the issue with compositing ("desktop effects") 
disabled.
  
- Note that the desktop is not dimmed; it is visible for as long as you
- want to stare at it, even after the password prompt has disappeared; and
- I am using dualhead and both screens are visible, so this is not a
- duplicate of #390989 or #385102 or #417722, though it is probably
- related.  I have attached a screenshot (acquired via VNC) demonstrating
- the problem.

  I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 x86-64 with all updates, using the NVidia
  180.44 binary driver with TwinView on a GeForce 8400 GS.
