gnome-screensaver DOSes box when unclutter is running

[James Troup]

[ObSeverity: this entirely DOSes any box using gnome-screensaver and workrave]

After upgrading to breezy I found I couldn't login into my box remotely whenever
the desktop was locked. X (which is still niced up) and a bunch of other stuff
all spin hard enough to pretty much stop anything else working. Killing
workrave before locking the screen "fixed" the problem. workrave and
gnome-screensaver are obviously not good friends. xscreensaver doesn't have
this problem.

[James Troup (elmo)]

Sorry, workrave was a red herring. The actual problem is unclutter. If
unclutter is run with -noevents, it's okay, but if run in it's default mode, it
triggers the DOS-style problems I described when gnome-screen-saver runs.

Downgrading since this is in universe now

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

I'm going to upload 0.0.15. Could you try again with that version?

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

does that still occur in recent dapper versions ?

I am marking this bug Closed since there has been no response from the reporter on whether the recent upload has fixed this issue in Dapper.

Please reopen this bug if it still exists. Thank you for reporting this (and working on fixing it :) )
