As far as I can tell, oldstable is not affected by this, because it
doesn't appear to have the new screenshot UI in js/ui/screenshot.js that
has the vulnerability. Pressing Print Screen in the lock screen in an
oldstable GNOME VM just opens the password prompt, the same as if I had
pressed Escape or Backspace.

(But don't necessarily trust me 100% on this - I'm sorry, I'm making more
mistakes than I should today.)
