Package: gnome-screensaver Version: 2.30.0-3 Severity: important If you use a laptop with a docking station that has an external additional monitor, and that the screensaver is locked, the display gets automatically resized by xrandr, *BUT* the gnome-screensaver dialog often loses focus (if the dialog is appeared before the screen is resized, which happens most of the time). The sad reality is that it's NOT possible to give back the focus to the password input field… (or even click "OK" which would at least reset the dialog) which in turn makes login into X impossible.
The sole way to login into X is then to go to a console, kill the gnome-screensaver process with "--showdialog" (or something similar) in the command line arguments. That kills the dialog, which is then started again, *and* is focus-able again. This bug is not 2.30 related, I've had it for a long time already, but today it was just one time too many :| If that matters I'm not using metacity but awesome as a window-manager which /could/ explain the focus loss. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-screensaver depends on: ii dbus-x11 1.4.6-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.30.3-2 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-session-bin 2.30.2-3 The GNOME Session Manager - Minima ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.6-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.92-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.10-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-17 2.30.2-2 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-menu2 2.30.3-2 an implementation of the freedeskt ii libgnomekbd4 2.30.2-2 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.3-1~sid1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam0g 1.1.2-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libx11-6 2:1.4.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.2.0-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxklavier16 5.0-2 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.1-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l Versions of packages gnome-screensaver recommends: ii gnome-power-manager 2.32.0-2 power management tool for the GNOM ii libpam-gnome-keyring 2.30.3-5 PAM module to unlock the GNOME key Versions of packages gnome-screensaver suggests: pn rss-glx <none> (no description available) ii xscreensaver-data 5.11-1+b1 data files to be shared among scre -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
