Description of problem: gnome-screensaver kicks in, blanks the screen, and one of the instances seems to vanish. Can't unlock screen except by killing the other instance of gnome-screensaver.

Actual results: screen 0 blank, no dialogue box to unlock screen 1 exposed, but panel non-responsive (as if locked) Expected results: both screens display screensaver, keystroke presents dialogue box Additional info: strace of remaining gnome-screensaver process looks like this (fragment - continues on) # strace -p2478 Process 2478 attached - interrupt to quit restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 150000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 150000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, NULL) = 0 stat64("/var/run", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 nanosleep({0, 200000000}, <unfinished ...>

Looks like you are using Clone mode so it is probably this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354663
Gack. I don't know how Clone got set. I'm using 2 different screens, :0.0 and :0.1, so I guess it's ignoring that option. Same behavior with Clone set to off. Also, not nVidia. It's an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV200 LX [Mobility FireGL 7800 M7].
Can you try running gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug and attach the output?

Ah, then it is this one: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358963 Which should be fixed in 2.16.1.
Just tested 2.16.1 and indeed this does fix it. Thanks for the quick response!
With 2.16.1 in dist-fc6-updates, I think we can close this now.
