Thanks Dan, That workaround definitely has something to do with this problem. It seems to have solved the problem here. "Seems" because, I'm only getting a dark screen, not the actual screensaver I've chosen, but that's probably a different problem.
Unredirecting full screen might not be the thing we want though, but I guess this takes us closer to the core of the problem. -- Screensaver doesn't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
