Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver in jaunty is failing to unlock my session when I give it the password. Strace shows the gnome-screensav
The only way I can unlock my session again is by switching to the console and killing the screensaver.
I think this was working when I first upgraded to jaunty, and regressed some time over the past week; but I could be misremembering.

I can confirm this on Jaunty (working before, regressed in the past days). Also, CPU usage of gnome-screensaver is high when it shows "Checking...". After a while it stops without unlocking, just showing an empty password box again.
Maybe this is a duplicate of bug #181065?
