This bug still affects me. I'm using Karmic Koala.
I can solve the problem by a reboot or by clicking on the screensaver-
preview. When I've done this, the screensaver works fine.

Hrm. I have this problem on Jaunty, as well. My setup is a dual-head
setup, though, so I don't know if that would have anything to do with
it. That said, should this issue be re-opened (it looks closed to me,
unless I am missing something) or should a new bug be filed?

the screensaver; it just doesn't properly start when the session is

The issue seems to be that the gnome-screensaver watches for
visibility_notify_event in gs-window-x11.c
For unredirect fullscreenwindows it get:
[gs_window_real_visibility_notify_event] gs-window-x11.c:2059 (21:02:19):
gs_window_real_visibility_notify_event(): 7bf080 unobscured
I debugged that a bit further and the current theory is that when
XCompositeUnredirectWindow() on a redirected window is called (that
happens with unredirect fullscreen windows) then the xserver will do a
internal map/unmap cycle. No events are generated for this, its for
internal resource
I think the following patch fixes the problem in the xserver.

Of course, JanJan, compiz configuration doesn't allow the screensaver to

The idea is to have screensaver *and* compiz. So we need to disable only

That workaround definitely has something to do with this problem. It
