Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.05-3
Severity: important
If you are switched to a virtual terminal e.g. ctrl-alt-f1 then the X
session does not lock.
The old behaviour in etch: when you switched back to the X session
ctrl-alt-f7 the screen would momentarily display the old screen before
the screensaver appeared and the password dialog popped up. (assuming
you had been switched away for long enough)
In lenny there is no locking at all, you can switch to ctrl-alt-f1 for
arbitrary lengths of time and when you switch back ctrl-alt-f7 the
screen is not locked.
(IMO, even the old behaviour with etch was a minor problem, if you were
quick with a camera you could grab a snapshot of what was on the screen.
But the current behaviour is a serious bug.)
I've reproduced this problem on two different systems:
