This particular bug infuriates me. I am used to the x-screensaver
behavior. No matter how long it takes xscreensaver to come up with the
unlock dialog, it catches every single keystroke, including any mistakes
and backspaces, and continuations upto and including the enter key.

What is bad about xscreensaver, jwz does and has done an outstanding job
for many years with this project. What was so NEEDFUL as to make it more
"admin" friendly and so repulsive to end users? Sure it does the same
job of xscreensaver only more crapily and slows me down significantly. I
understand about the dbus and gconf ideas... but at what cost is going
to be?

If Gnome is going to change the this gnome-screensaver, Gnome needs to
have it accept all keystrokes from the keyboard on the get go, not
"delayed" until the dialog comes up. This mode of operation is extremely
horrid and NOT at all End-User friendly. We need to get work done, this
holds us up as much as 90 seconds (on a slow machine that is heavily
used)

This can eat up 15+ minutes a day, even without the mistakes, if your
timeout is short.
