Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

The dialog produced by "leave a message" once the screen is unlocked has both "Cancel" and "OK" buttons. Both buttons dismiss the dialog, but have no further purpose that I can see. There should be a single "Dismiss message" (or similar meaning) button, possibly with a second "Save message" button that would allow you to save the message.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock screen (ctrl+alt+l)
2. leave a message using the appropriate button
3. Unlock screen
4. Observe "Cancel" and "OK" buttons on message window.

I did look for a duplicate before posting this and still can't find one, however bug 333269 will resolve this by removing the dialog altogether so I'll leave this as invalid.

This bug is also affects Ubuntu 10.04 beta.

Not sure what bug Chris Coulson is talking about however it would have been nice if you could have told us what bug you're talking about.

Either way this is the only bug I could find when reporting the issue so I'm adding to this.
