Also input should not go to them.

Only override_redirect windows are currently able to show above the lock 
screen. Keyboard input will never go to them as we never move the input focus 
to an overrideredirect window.

I had 2 terminal windows above the login screen.

Try open a terminal and (sleep 10 && xterm) in it, then lock the computer.

Are the lock screen and login screen handled the same in Ash? If a managed 
window gets input or is placed above the lock screen, that sounds like a 
general Ash issue. If it's a login-only issue then I might just mark this as 
WontFix as I don't think that's a state you can get to unless deliberately set 
up your session to create x windows before login, in which case you're on your 
own.

I'm not sure.. but would you see the login screen on restart? That was how I 
got there.

I think that restart should either not show the login screen or kill the X 
session completely. The later is probably best.

Not clear to me that we should be using the built-in lock screen functionality. 
Usage of xlock or similar X11 client is the recommend way to provide screen 
locking functionality at the moment. We can reopen this if we decide to use the 
built in locking mechanism.
