[Tom Rushton]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Installed from ubuntu-0.04-alternate.i386.iso downloaded today. MD5SUM correct.
Update from 8.04 to 9.04.
Selected update latest versions from the internet. Selected defaults when given a choice.
No problems encountered and no error messages.
Rebooted and logged in. Everything looked fine.
Popup notice asked whether to update to a new version of the Shutdown button applet.
Selected Update. Window did not disappear afterwards, so clicked on Update again.
Crash notice appeared indicating that Screensaver app had crashed.
Have no idea whether this had anything to do with updating the Shutdown button.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
