It just happened to me at most a couple of days ago, on up-to-date (at the time) Jaunty.
I switched to a console, killed the dialog this time, and when returning to X I got a new dialog that worked. I'm using the laptop much less often these days, so I've no idea how common it is. (It's the same machine I posted the original bug report for.) My main machine doesn't have lock screen enabled, so no idea if it's going on there. -- gnome-screensaver locks up randomly when unlocking screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183486 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
