Description of problem: After switching users with FUSA, and then quitting the new user session, the previous session is returned to. FUSA (by default) tells gnome-screensaver to lock the screen after it sets up the user switch. Unfortunately, when returning back to the first session, it can take half a second or so before the black screen (lock) is rendered. This means it is sometimes possible to see a user's private data. FUSA executes `gnome-screensaver-command --lock` just after telling gdm to start a new gdm for switching, so the screensaver should already be locked. This could either be: * gnome-screensaver has already "locked" the screen but there is a small delay to render the black screen. * gnome-screensaver gets the signal to lock via gnome-screensaver-command, but doesn't actually initiate the locking process until its display is active. If the delay is inevitable and can't be fixed in gnome-screensaver, it can possibly be fixed in FUSA by blanking the screen before the display is switched. That way, when the display is switched back, it should already be blank (may be related to bug #246188). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.19.1.1-1.fc8 fast-user-switch-applet-2.18.0-1.fc8
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Possible dupe of bug 235485 ?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
