Public bug reported:
Since I've upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid I've been encountering a
problem with gnome-screensaver locking up the screen and forcing a
reboot to get control of the desktop. The problem occurs randomly and
has happed using the "blank" screensaver and many of the more active
ones. The machine is not locked up though. When the problem occurs it
only causes problems with the desktop. I have logged into the machine
and tried killing gnome-screensaver in the hopes that that would return
control, but that didn't work. CTrl-Alt-F1 will not allow me to switch
to a virtual terminal. All aspects of the desktop including the keyboard
appears to be locked up when it occurs.
