Bug Description

The problem lies in the interaction of xscreensaver and skype.

I have long-running text chats. When the screen is locked and blanked, newly arriving skype chat notifications still appear on the screen. This is a privacy leak as all new messages are visible.

Skype version 4.3.0.37.
