Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch When gdmflexiserver opens a window, that window is opened behind the locked screen, so it is not accessible. Normally gdmflexiserver doen't so so, but in two cases it askes Questions: 1) There is already an empty Xserver (i.e. noone is logged in) running. 2) There is more than one Xserver configured and flexiserver needs to know which one to launch.
To make it worse, those windows stay open, so when the original user returns, he is confused, what all these windows gdmflexiserver produced are about. A workaround would be to alter the flexiserver-command to "gdmflexiserver -l -a -c FLEXI_XSERVER". This will make flexiserver always launch an new Xserver imediately. 1) Here it ignores the empty Xserver and launches another one 2) Here it launches the default Xserver. Of course, it would be even better, if the system administrator had a possibility to change the command by a runtime-configuration-option instead if haveing to recompile the whole thing.
