Subject: [gnome-screensaver] Ignores input during fade animation

Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:59:13 -0400

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.26.1-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When the screensaver has been activated, either by timeout or by the
command line, it ignores input (key presses and mouse movements) during
the fade animation. This is a change from previous behavior where the
screensaver could be aborted by user action during this animation. Now
users with password-protected screensavers are required to enter their
password, which is extremely frustrating when an application (i.e.
Flash) does not inhibit the screensaver.

This bug has been already reported to Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508979

but not upstream as far as I can tell.

Hmm, it was closed at fedora, but reading the bug discussion, it's
clearly a bug -- though they seemed to be arguing about whether it's
just an X bug or whether gnome-screensaver (etc!) also have bugs...

The consensus there seems to be that it may be fixed upstream in one
way or another, but I'm not so hopeful; e.g.:

   Maybe we no longer need to open an Xorg bug for this; in [1] Adam
   Jackson (owner of this Xsync issue) stated:
       Fixed in 1.9.0
   So maybe everything will be fine when we move to Xorg 1.9.0 (my
   F13 has 1.8.2).

... but I'm running Xorg 1.9.2... (maybe that's what _tickled_ the bug
in the first place)  :(

[and it's a really annoying bug too...]
