Comment 1 Zdenek Kabelac 2011-09-09 12:48:13 UTC
Seeing the same issue - looking into pointers:

167 clock_format = g_settings_get_enum (self->priv->desktop_settings, "clock-format");

(gdb) print self->priv
$2 = (GnomeWallClockPrivate *) 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Thus surely non-deferencable content

I left my computer for a while. I came back, and I was asked for my password to unlock the screen. The crash occured some seconds after I did that.

This happened after unlocking from the lock screen. One thing that I have noticed is that when my lock screen is activated, I can see the top panel bar with Activites, date, icons, etc, but the background doesn't show up and I cannot see the UI for the unlock form. I can swipe my finger across the fingerprint reader to unlock and it works fine. Also, I can open the laptop lid, get the blank screen I described in the last sentence, then close the lid and open it again and everything shows up on the screen as expected.

Comment 18 Mads Kiilerich 2011-09-15 14:05:10 UTC
Several of the reports mentions gnome-screensaver-3.1.91-1.fc16, so it has _not_ been fixed by FEDORA-2011-12324.

I just got bug 737395 (marked as duplicate of this) on f16+testing, but abrt wouldn't report it because it was CLOSED ERRATA.

Comment 19 Bill C. Riemers 2011-12-02 03:33:23 UTC
This still happens to me.  I finally ended up uninstalling the screen saver today.

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-17 00:46:26 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:29:27 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
