Oh! I thougth you wrote that remained locked the screen. Well, really
rss-glx should _not_ use gl-helper for unlocking and don't know how
exactly reproduce it in an environment correctly configured. (I mean
with xscreensaver-gl installed) Why is xscreensaver-gl needed? Well
it've the binaries needed by xscreensaver to run any gl hack.

Well, is not that's a xscreensaver bug as I already wrote above, rss-glx
does really needs xscreensaver-gl for working with xscreensaver.

So basicly rss-glx depending in xscreensaver-gl when is using
xscreensaver should fix this bug and not just be a workaround.

And is just not a workaround because I'm working right now in separating
the hacks of xscreensaver so there'll exists two more packages:
xscreensaver-hacks and xscreensaver-gl-hacks and made them availables to
apps like gnome-screensaver without installing the binaries so is gonna
be safe to install xscreensaver-gl without installing unnecesaries hacks.

So considering that this is not already done (spliting xscreensaver) and
there's already a wishlist about spliting the package and this bugs is
not exactly a xscreensaver bug this bug could be blocked by #410095 and
I don't think should be reassigned to xscreensaver.

Regards,
Jose Luis.
