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.
