Binary package hint: xorg

When the screensaver activates, the machine is unresponsive to keyboard or mouse and must be rebooted. Also, when the System->Preferences->Screensaver setup is activated, I can slide the "idle after:" bar with the mouse, but cannot click on anything else in the window. I can minimize/maximize the window normally, (there is a 1 second delay) but cannot click on any other buttons.

Additionally, after maximize/unmaximize all buttons and sliders are gone, except for the screensaver preview itself running in the "Screensaver Preferences" window. The "Close window" tooltip appears when I hover over the close, but the window refuses to close when I click on the "X". I can move the window normally, and all options work except for close. I am only able to terminate the "Screensaver Preferences" session by using the "Force misbehaving application to quit" app in the toolbar. I am up to date with all Jaunty patches so far.
