I would like to draw attention to this issue again. The fix which was created is somewhat problematic, as it causes clipboard content to be lost when the screensaver password screen is shown. Relevant to me is that when that screen is shown in an Ubuntu guest in VirtualBox using clipboard sharing it causes the host clipboard contents to be lost. The original problem which the fix solved no longer exists, since the "leave a message" functionality in gnome-screensaver is long gone, but the upstream GNOME developers do not seem interested in reverting the fix, as gnome-screensaver is only used by Ubuntu at this point and is deprecated upstream. Would it be possible then for you to make that change in Ubuntu?
