Lock Screen security problem

[ghost]

I was able to work-around the lockscreen without entering a password just by pressing ctrl+alt+d (Show desktop) -> right-click on prey window in the windows list -> uncheck "always on top"
A solution might be adding these lines:
self.window.set_skip_taskbar_hint(True)
self.window.set_skip_taskbar_hint(True)
to the prey-lock python script but it's not a real solution since I was still able to minimize the window with a few tries.
Hope it helped!
