I wasn't optimistic since calling gnome-screensaver on the console just
returns and I didn't have any luck with ddd before either, but strace
actually gives me useable output. Here it comes (well, the relevant
tail):

** (gnome-screensaver:25854): CRITICAL **: gs_window_is_obscured:
assertion `GS_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(gnome-screensaver:25854): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_screen:

(gnome-screensaver:25854): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_screen:
assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(gnome-screensaver:25854): Gdk-CRITICAL **:

What I forgot to mention: Sometimes the screensaver is displayed in a window 
after the screen has been miraculously unlocked. One called "slideshow" showing 
Cosmos in my case.
