gnome-screensaver segfaults at login screen instead of giving back login screen

[Ronan Jouchet]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Hello,

This bug may be the parent of #99647, #58963, #185554. All these reports (closed because of missing info) mention a failure when resuming.
I face the same issue, but I think it's not at all suspend/resume related: I noticed the bug happens also when I simply check the "lock screen when screensaver is active".

_What should happen_: in cases where the screensaver "end" returns to the login screen (i.e. after resuming or if the user configured it this way in the screensaver conf panel), moving the mouse / hitting a key should return the login screen.
_What happens_: the screensaver runs, and as soon as I move the mouse or hit a key, the screen flickers a bit, and the screensaver continues to run (instead of returning to the login screen).

See the attached file with the segfaults (from /var/log/syslog) and feel free to ask more info, I'll be tracking this bug closely.

And BTW, when the box I mention is unchecked, the screensaver simply fails to load.
