Move mouse before screensaver starts, while screen is still black. Actual results: Session locks, no unlock dialog. Expected results: Unlock dialog, return to the session.
if you type alt-f2 xgamma -gamma 1.0 ("in the dark" so to speak) does it come back to life? Adding to F8Target
It do (with DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables set).
[Should probably clarify above that I went through a text-mode console.]
Can you try again with current gnome-screensaver packages ? Ray added a patch that should fix this problem.
Oh, sorry, I just see that this bug is against F7. The fix will be available in F8.
