Description Jarod Wilson 2006-03-24 02:36:01 UTC
Description of problem:

With ldaps network auth enabled, I never see the unlock dialog box after the
gnome-screensaver kicks in and locks my desktop. The screen saver stops and I
see the mouse pointer, but never the unlock dialog. Dropping to a vt and looking
at ps output shows its running though.

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

gnome-screensaver-2.14.0-1

I think that the problem is related to the bug 186444 . Setting options that add
butons or other things to screen savers cause that unlock dialog never show with
default screen saver (Floating Fedora Bubbles)

Comment 2 Jarod Wilson 2006-03-25 06:43:18 UTC
Hm, interesting. I do get the Fedora-themed unlock dialog with the Floating
Fedora Bubbles screen saver on boxes I don't have network auth configured on.
Not sure if the two issues are directly related or just two very similar
issues... I'll try to beat on this more next week.

Comment 3 Jarod Wilson 2006-07-10 21:36:34 UTC
Looks like in rawhide we scrapped the themed unlock dialog box. Was that to
circumvent this issue or for other reasons? In any case, I can't reproduce with
rawhide, but this still happens on a fully-updated (with updates-testing
enabled) FC5 box with the themed unlock dialog, and enabling ldaps auth
definitely triggers the problem.

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-20 18:08:55 UTC
Not sure why I never saw this report fly by, but we haven't used the theme
dialog for some time now, so I'm going to close this one out.

The themed dialog was a bit of a failed experiment.
