xscreensaver blocks guides in gimp

[Peter]

Binary package hint: gimp

In ubuntu 10.04 and xubuntu 10.04, when I click on rulers in gimp for dragging guides, gimp is blocking. Gimp don't reacts on clicks anymore. Only when I minimize window and restore it back, gimp unlocks, but no guides.
Problem solves by killing xscreensaver process. With xscreensaver version 5.13 gimp works fine, but there is 5.12 in standard repository.

I can confirm this bug, affecting also the 64 bits version of xubuntu.
Gimp also unlocks when workspace is switched and back again, yet no guides are there when returning to gimp's workspace.

This Ubuntu version is now EOL. I can't reproduce this in a newer Ubuntu version (Ubuntu 13.04). Please tell us if you are still affected? Thank you very much!

Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS there is at least version 5.15 of xscreensaver, so I assume this bug is fixed.
