Note that I dit not change anything from the installation. So if there's a problem
with the sreen lock, the cd's are spinned down with that problem. And why not calling
it a security leak? Anything related to a password and access, ... is as far as I know
security...

Fast User Switching by default enables the screen lock when a user is
switched
away from. Could there be a problem with your screen lock?
Please keep in mind that any assumption of security is completely out of
the water if folks have physical access to your computer, which they must
have for fast user switching.
This comment is a bit extreme. True, in principal there is no security
without physical security - but that hardly means we should offer an open
invitation.
