Description of problem: When users use smartcards to log in, they frequently forget to take them back out when locking the screen or logging out. Remind them, perhaps by playing a sound, or showing a message, or even refusing to complete the (user-requested) screen lock or logout until the smartcard is removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5 gnome-session-2.16.0-6.el5 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with a smartcard. 2. Lock the screen. 3. Walk away. Actual results: The screen is locked and I am gone; an interloper only has to type a smart card PIN to unlock it. Security is degraded. Expected results: A reminder happens, I take the smartcard with me, the screen locks, and an interloper has to forcibly obtain my smartcard from my person, get back to my computer AND type a PIN to unlock my screen. Security is upheld.
