Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
This is simple to reproduce. Start Eclipse, open a .java file, do some editing. Wait for the screensaver to come on the lock the screen. Move the mouse or whatever, type in your password, and then Eclipse will not accept any input. Minimize Eclipse, then maximize it, and you can edit again.
Not a very critical bug, just an annoyance.
Also, this did not seem to be an issue before 10.04.

When waking up after having gone into screen saver mode, Eclipse is unresponsive
to keystrokes. Mouse still works.
Workaround 1:
- switch workspace and back. I mean X workspaces, not Eclipse workspaces. Eg. CTRL-ALT-RIGHTARROW followed by CTRL-ALT_LEFTARROW.
Workaround 2:
- restart Eclipse
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse and work a bit, then leave it alone until the screen saver kicks in (simple screen fading to black in my case). Make sure you have eg. an editor open (in my case a java file, but I don't think it matters).
2. Wake it up again eg. by moving the mouse
3. Try typing: it doesn't work!
