Description jared jennings 2010-11-22 21:34:08 UTC
Description of problem:
With gnome-screensaver 2.16.1-8.el5_5.1 installed, the screen is no longer unlockable with the smartcard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.16.1-8.el5_5.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade gnome-screensaver to 2.16.1-8.el5_5.1.
2. Log out. Log in with a smartcard.
3. Lock the screen.
4. Attempt to unlock the screen.
  
Actual results:
If there is a smartcard inserted, the unlock dialog says, "Smart card inserted," and nothing more. The Cancel button works, but the screen is not unlockable.

If there is not a smartcard inserted, the unlock dialog says, "Please insert a smartcard," and does not react when a smartcard is inserted. The cancel button works.

Expected results:
If there is a smartcard inserted, the unlock dialog should say, "Please enter PIN," accept a PIN and (if correct) unlock the display.

If there is not a smartcard inserted when the dialog shows up, but then the user inserts a smartcard, the dialog should indicate that a smartcard has been inserted, and continue appropriately.


Additional info:

I've straced the gnome-screensaver-dialog process; one thread polls indefinitely and the other locks on a futex. Downgrading to 2.16.1-8.el5_5 results in the desired behavior. Have not looked at the dont-log-cancel-requests patch in detail.

I should probably mention that we're using CACs here, not CoolKeys proper.
