Bug 199883

Description of problem:

xscreensaver does not have password window.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xscreensaver-base-4.24-2
xscreensaver-extras-4.24-2

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Do a fresh installation of FC5, then update to the current updates
   (~22 July).

2. Remove gnome-screensaver. Install screensaver-base.

3. Set up the screen saver to operate, preferably with a short time
   out. Set the screen to lock some time after the screen blanks.

4. Wait for the time out to occur. Strike a key, move the mouse,
   etc. to disable the screen saver.
  
Actual results:

I get the mouse pointer, but no password prompt. I have to shut X down
to recover, which can be rather brutal.


Expected results:

I expect to see the good old Xscreensaver password prompt. I expect to
enter my password and be back in business.

Additional info:

The reason I removed the gnome screen saver and installed the other is
because xscreensaver allows an interval between the screen saver
kicking in. This is an essential safety when driving with a laptop,
e.g. for navigation, wardriving, security auditing. If
gnome-screensaver cannot do this for me, I cannot use it.

I tried having both installed. I get the gnome screensaver control
app, so that is not an acceptable workaround.

If you can add the separate password protection delay to
gnome-screensaver, please do. Meanwhile I still need a proper screen
saver tool as soon as you can reasonably do it.
