Bug Description

~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

~$ apt-cache policy gnome-screensaver

When my screen goes to sleep, sometimes it doesn't wake up correctly. The whole screen is black except the mouse pointer which I can move around. If I vnc or teamview in to my box I can see the entire screen fine. I've found if I then start nvidia-settings, my screen comes back to life. Before I found this trick, I had to kill my session to be able to see my screen again.
