I've just upgraded to Intrepid Beta and I'm experiencing this bug when I resume from suspend or from active screensaver. It was not present on my previous Hardy installation.

Same problem also here.

I use a blank screen as my screen saver.

when I lock my session and try to log back, I can't (not seeing the dialog box. The mouse cursor is there, and disappear on the dialog box position).

Killing the screen saver from terminal let me get back in my session.

I recognize that this is inconvenient, and I apologize for the necessity.
I can only say that nothing in the universe collects more spam than an

It seems that you or one of your employees (@boutell.com) has reported a bug in a Ubuntu OS he/she may be using, at bugs.launchpad.net. This is off course very much appreciated.

Launchpad is the bug tracking system for many Linux OS's. As the default mode when subscribing to launchpad is: you receive all messages related to your bug, this user will now get a very large amount of emails.

As the previous domains/addresses are blocked by your email client, the user who posted this will not get a notification. We will however, as we always will receive your automated reply.

Please whitelist these previous addresses/domains, so the original user will be notified. There are an enormous amount of duplicates of these bug, and the original user who posted the duplicate is not required to make his own email address public.

Therefore our alternatives are:

* Contact the server admin of bugs.launchpad.net
* Send a private message to everyone who ever posted a duplicate of this bug and hope they respond

Neither of these alternatives are preferred. Therefore please help us out instead, as we will get a duplicate of your bounce message for every new duplicate/comment that is posted. If you would like the domain: @boutell.com to be blocked, you may contact me and I will pass it on to the launchpad server admin.

Please Note:

It is not necessary to whitelist my email address, as I have no need to contact you ever again (not that I do not like you naturally).

I have never seen it in hardy before the upgrade. Clear case of a regression problem.
