*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug:
Binary package hint: xscreensaver
If password input dialogue, such as gnome keyring prompt or gksu is open, then
screensaver will not automatically start if desktop is left idle for the
pre-configured amount of time. This makes security of automatic screen locking
inefficient in certain cases. Upon password entry or dialog cancellation,
screensaver starts.
How to reproduce:
1) Configure xscreensaver with a delay of 1 minute
2) open an application asking for keyring passphrase entry or gksu dialog
3) Wait for one minute, screensaver does not kick in
4) Enter passphrase/password or cancel dialog, screensaver starts.
