Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emerald
I don't know if this bug ticket belongs to gnome-screensaver or to
emerald. Since it does not happen when Metacity is the window manager,
I must assume that it's emerald's problem.
I often have two users logged in at the same time via GDM. When I
switch between them, it automatically locks the screen (even when I try
to configure it NOT to -- one user is a dedicated MythTV login, and I
don't want that to screenlock). When I switch back to a login where
Beryl and Emerald are running, the gnome-screensaver dialog appears, but
I cannot type into it. I have to go to a linux console, log in, and
kill the gnome-screensaver to get back in. If a terminal or editor were
the last focused windows, I can see what I tried to type into the unlock
dialog.
(Another annoyance; probably the subject of a second bug report; is that
if I use the logout dialog to switch user, I must enter the password at
the GDM screen, and then again at the gnome-screensaver unlock dialog.
Can't Dbus be used for this or something?)
