I prefer suspend over complete shut down when it comes to my work PC.
Sometimes, when it wakes up from suspend, the login dialog isn't the first thing what appears (as I expected, maybe I totally wrong about what screen locking means) but the desktop! I have enough time to type command into the terminal, to look at my browsers, etc.
After a few second the login dialog finally comes up, preventing any interaction with my desktop and asking for the password.
I would like to help Ubuntu developers to solve this issue so I'll describe how things should happen (in my opinion):
weake up from suspend
show login dialog, ask for password
if 2 OK 4, else return to 2
show the desktop
NOT 1, 4, 2, ... !
Sadly all of our development PCs running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I have to come up with a solution. Going for another *nix would take to much time, but I'm not sure that simply switching to another desktop environment would solve this issue.
