Bug Description
I have a standard ubuntu installation with deja-dup running daily and a screen lock.
deja-dup saves to a SMB share whose password is saved in the seahorse keychain.
When I boot my system and log in, and just leave it running, after some time deja-dup starts backing up and causes seahorse to prompt for my keychain password. This prompt prevents the screen from locking automatically. When I enter my password, the screen is locked at once.
In Ubuntu 14.04, this effect was the same - but sometimes the keychain password prompt would even overlay the already locked screen. I have not seen this in 16.04.
I think this is a security vulnerability since this makes the automatic screen lock unreliable.
