Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Gnome screensaver does not always "fade out" when coming back to the desktop.
By this I mean, if gnome-screensaver is running, and i enter my password, it is
accepted, but I don't get to see the desktop.
setting general transparency to less than 95% (using compiz), I can see that
all activities are still being recorded underneath the screensaver, and I can
kill it by using Alt+F2 and then typing killall gnome-screensaver.
Otherwise, whatever screensaver was being displayed on the screen still remains
there, until the computer shutdown.
Trying to "refresh" the image by switching to a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and
then back to X (Ctrl+Atl+F7) does NOT help.
If I set "cube" in compiz, and unroll the desktop, then I can see that ONLY the
desktop is affected, but the skydome is normal/clear.
Also, although the mouse does work (somewhat - edges don't actually activate
anymore at that time) the cursor is not seen, and mouse position is only
implied by it's consequences (i.e, right-clicking, opening a menu, hovering
over an interactive area,...)
This most often happen when resuming from stand-by, but not always then.
However, it seems that if it happens once, it keeps happening until the
computer is rebooted.
This is happening on a HP ProBook 4510s, running Karmic with all the latest
updates installed.
