Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.22+3
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: jeffrey.cliff at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,


Two scenarios

1) Login, without opening any applications or with other applications open
2) wait for 15 minutes or whatever the timeout period is to enable screen
lock
result:
screen lock occurs

1) open a gnome-terminal
right click on the gnome-terminal to get the popup dialogue of
"Open Terminal"
"..."
"Paste"
"Profiles -> "
" [ ] Read only "
" [x] Show Menubar"
2) wait for 15 minutes or whatever the timeout period is to enable screen
lock
result:
error message:
"Unable to Lock
Lock was blocked by an application"

Now this is a minor error, but would be an odd thing to present to new user.
suggestions
i) Don't lock but suggest which application is preventing lock screen from
triggering (gnome-terminal)
ii) override gnome-terminal and/or close the right click menu, or lock
anyway
iii) something more complicated
iv) don't lock, don't suggest which application is preventing lock screen
but
have the right click slowly fade away if it's not used
