Bug Description
Running a dual-head configuration (i810) on Feisty with Xorg 7.2 and GNOME 2.18.
Previously (e.g., in Edgy Eft) the screen would not start to fade to the screensaver if I were active in one or the other of the heads. However, now, if I am working on the non-primary screen (as I often do with my e-mail, because that screen is bigger), after the specified time, the screensaver will start. The only way for me to stop it is to move the mouse onto the first (primary) display so that it sees that I am still there. This can happen when I am typing into an e-mail, browsing the web, or working in any other application.
I don't have any more information other than that for the time being, though I can give any additional information upon request. I will attach my X.org configuration so that it can be seen.
BTW, I am not sure if this bug is at the X level, or the level of the screensaver applications, or something in between. That is why I have not assigned a package—I am not sure which one it would be.
