Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
Runny updated Hardy, gnome-screensaver version 2.22.2-0ubuntu1
When switching users via the logout button, sometimes the buttons on the
grey box (I attached an image of this box just to be clear) you are
presented with after logging out don't work. For example, if you log in
with your primary user - fred, create another user named bob and use the
user switcher applet to switch to/log in as bob, and then click Logout
via the red power button on the gnome panel, you are presented with the
grey box prompting you to log in, but the "Leave Message". "Unlock" and
"Cancel" buttons do not click, and mousing over does not highlight the
buttons. The only option is to put in the password of the user it
presents you with, and press enter.
This could be really annoying if you didn't want to log back in as that
user, fred, but as a third user - jack. Especially if fred was not
around to supply his password only to logout, and let jack use the
computer.
I noticed this bug today on an Ubuntu machine newly installed with Hardy
(home partition persisted from feisty), and I tested it further on
another machine running Hardy (upgraded from gutsy to hardy alpha, and
through to final release). The screenshot of the grey box was taken
with virtualbox and a fresh install of Hardy, on which I could not re-
create the error. Also, in the screenshot the buttons are Leave
Message, Switch User, Cancel, and Unclock, which is different from the
gray box I get with non functional buttons - I don't see the Switch User
button.
