Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

After today’s Jaunty gtk+2.0 2.14.5-1ubuntu2 -> 2.15.0-0ubuntu1 upgrade, gnome-screensaver can no longer unlock the screen. When I enter the correct password, gnome-screensaver-dialog just sits there displaying “Checking...”. top shows that the CPU is spinning, with about 65% gnome-screensaver-dialog and 35% Xorg.

I can only reproduce this with the line “export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim” in my ~/.gnomerc. (I need this so that I can use a custom ~/.XCompose file.)

I get the same bug after the latest Jaunty updates. However, here GTK_IM_MODULE=cedilla.

Also, the gnome-screensaver-dialog displays a blue (i) icon in the password entry box, which I don't remember seeing before.

Here is a stacktrace with debug symbols from gnome-screensaver-dialog while it is spinning.

I have the same bug here but I'm not using nor xim neither cedilla: echo $GTK_IM_MODULE gives me a blank answer.
