I don't think Sean's advice is a good workaround. The maintainer points out that the situation is improved as of 2.19.1. See <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head- da3828b140d636782bb9fca563cd992cffd777fd>. But Feisty is stuck at 2.18.1.
I blogged about this at http://tbc.livejournal.com/23562.html and am motivated to drive it to conclusion. So I am requesting that this bug be reopened. If the Ubuntu maintainer will update the gnome-screensaver package from 2.18.10-ubuntu1 I will be glad to test whether the fix works as desired. I'd like to see the documentation synchronized, too (the text that is shown when you click on the screensaver's Help button), and am willing to help make that happen.
