start a session to a windows pc with rdesktop
open a terminal and run
sleep 5; gnome-screensaver-command --activate
imidiately switch to rdesktop and wait for the screensaver to start
to restore your keyb/mouse
1) hit Alt+F2 and bring up the Run Application
2) enter the following command and check the "Run in terminal" option
gnome-screensaver-command --activate
(you may need to enter your password if you have the relating setting turned on)
BTW note the "gnome-screensaver-WARNING **: Couldn't grab keyboard!
(AlreadyGrabbed)" warnings at the terminal
----------
Should we report this to the gnome-screensaver team? they might be able
to act on it
