Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.18.2-1
Severity: important
When the screensaver is fading out, a mouse movement will cause the
screensaver to be disabled. Once the fade-out has occurred, a mouse
movement will promopt for a password to restore display.
If a mouse movement occurs at some time when the screen has completely
darkened from the fading for some reason the password prompt will never
display and it is impossible to restore the display without killing the
X server and logging-in again. This is a very severe problem and I have
experienced this issue several times now.
I can attempt to repeat the issue, but so far it has occurred at
inopportune times and is very annoying.
