Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

this is most likely a dupe of bug 128476. i left computer on today went out for hour or 2 came back and it crashed, last night it was working fine so i would say todays updates caused it

  apparmor apparmor-utils bluez-gnome capplets-data evince evolution
  evolution-common evolution-plugins fast-user-switch-applet
  gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-power-manager
  gnumeric-common gnumeric-gtk kdebluetooth kubuntu-artwork-usplash
  kubuntu-default-settings language-selector language-selector-common
  language-selector-qt libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 libgnome-window-settings1
  libkbluetooth0 libpanel-applet2-0 libpanel-applet2-dev libsvn1
  libtotem-plparser7 libvolume-id0 memtest86+ python-gnome2-extras
  python-gtkhtml2 python-subversion subversion subversion-tools sun-java6-bin

  usplash-theme-ubuntu volumeid xfce4-utils xserver-xorg-video-ati

This seems to have only happen during upgrading those packages, it works fine now, but still an active bug since screensavers should not crash during updates.
