The current implementation of the locking feature is very “thin”, security wise.
This is one of the reasons we have not implemented yet an auto-lock in the main interface (the compact version, if used in a sidebar, is somewhat more secure, as the browsers plug-ins can not access its content as easily; nothing rock solid, but a little more secure).
We are aware of this weakness, and we are planning for a much more solid solution in a future release of the application.
PS: thanks for the pointer to the interesting Firefox plug-in.
