screensaver and screen locking not activating if keyring dialogue is open

[Konrads Smelkovs]

Binary package hint: xscreensaver

If password input dialogue, such as gnome keyring prompt or gksu is open, then screensaver will not automatically start if desktop is left idle for the pre-configured amount of time. This makes security of automatic screen locking inefficient in certain cases. Upon password entry or dialog cancellation, screensaver starts.
How to reproduce:
1) Configure xscreensaver with a delay of 1 minute
2) open an application asking for keyring passphrase entry or gksu dialog
3) Wait for one minute, screensaver does not kick in
4) Enter passphrase/password or cancel dialog, screensaver starts.

I was able to reproduce this behavior on 10.04 and on 10.10 beta.
