Description of problem: On F8t3 + latest updates (and also before the updates), I frequently see a situation where I can not enter my password to gnome-screensaver's unlock dialog because it does not have keyboard focus. I'm running compiz, and it seems to me that it's related to its focus handling. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-gnome-0.6.0-2.fc8 gnome-screensaver-2.20.0-8.fc8 compiz-0.6.0-2.fc8 How reproducible: Regular, but not always Steps to Reproduce: 1. leave desktop idle, wait for screensaver to kick in 2. touch mouse 3. try to enter password Actual results: No focus in password dialog. Must repeatedly click cancel button, unlock button (without password), etc etc until after a few tries the dialog gets focus. Also, alt-tab can cycle through windows showing their thumbnails at this time, although the screensaver always comes on top when alt is released. This of course leaks potentially sensible information to whoever is trying to unlock the display (running apps, possibly also data shown if readable from the thumbnails). Expected results: Unlock dialog would always have focus, alt-tab should not work. Additional info: compiz commandline: compiz --sm-client-id default1 glib gconf gconf settings for compiz and gnome-screensaver in attachments.

do you see this with metacity too?
I have not been able to repeat this with metacity. I guess that makes it a compiz bug..
As per earlier comments, this looks like a compiz bug instead of gnome-screensaver. Perhaps related to #201614 and #241948
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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.
