This problem occurs when my screen is locked on this laptop (such as when resuming from suspend), and I plug an external monitor in: for a brief moment the second screen shows not the locked screen graphic or a blank field, but the contents of what WILL be on that screen once the password is entered. This morning as I did this I noticed a private e-mail on that screen, and realized that this is a security risk.

that's likely a duplicate bug we should really do something about this long standing security issue.
