Description Joachim Backes 2011-09-12 05:31:40 UTC
Description of problem:
having very often the problem that after some time inside a gnome-shell session the screen can't be locked by the gnome-shell user menu or by the ctrl+alt+l key combination.

This seems to be related to a crashing (??) gnome-gnomesceensaver:

after having logged in, gnome-screensaver runs well (as child of
gnome-session), but after some time (can't say how long), no more
screensaver is running. I have to logout and login again for getting a
running screensaver.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-3.1.91-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
In each gnome-session after some time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.User menu "lock screen" or ctrl+alt+l
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
nothing happens

Expected results:
screen is locked
