Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Hi, This is a forward of the following Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=225868 Some applications that operate in the system tray and produce notifications there, such as Noatun and Kopete. When kscreensaver is active, these notifications are visible through the screen saver. If kscreensaver is being used to lock the screen, this is a security compromise -- someone could, for instance, find out who is messaging me with Kopete by looking at my locked display (since the message bubble is visible even though the screen is locked). Additionally, the menu bar at the top of the screen (if activated with 'Desktop -> Behavior -> Enable desktop menu' in the KDE Control Center) is briefly visible through the screen saver when the mouse is moved or a key pressed to bring up the password prompt. cheers domi
