As a result of this bug (the screensaver is not meant to trigger as the user is trying to actively use the system), it might happen that the screensaver fails to acquire focus properly as it fades in. As a result you can type in characters, but the keystrokes are sent in underneath windows... such as an IRC client.

I believe this only happens when I manually lock it with my ThinkVantage key that I have bound to the lock-screen shortcut, but I can't be sure of that. I've seen this for a while now, but assumed it was some bug caused by either a borked compiz or some kind of delay catch-up happening because gnome-screensaver took too long to swap in. But I just upgraded to the latest trusty compiz that has tons of bugfixes, and the new lock screen keeps gnome-screensaver swapped in nicely.
