The problem is caused by the pam-module pam_ecryptfs.so from package
ecryptfs-utils, which tries to mount the encrypted private directory
when the screensaver is unlocked.
This seems to be a known problem and is mentioned in /usr/share/doc
/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-pam-doc.txt.gz:
Troubleshooting
Problem: Attempts to authenticate to the gnome-screensaver
application result in a long pause and a failed attempt.
Solution: Your PAM stack is not set up correctly. Make
certain that /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver does not point
to a file in the auth context that includes
pam_ecryptfs.so.
On ubuntu 9.10 with ecryptfs-utils installed /etc/pam.d/gnome-
screensaver includes pam_ecryptfs.so via /etc/pam.d/common-auth.
