Description Alex Vranas 2006-01-09 23:53:53 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When in fullscreen, the entire desktop can become inaccessable if a screensaver
is triggered.  You have to force a logout in order to regain control

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a screensaver to start after 1 minute of inactivity
2. Open an image in EOG and fullscreen it
3. Wait one minute
4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit to login screen


Actual results:
The screensaver will start, but it won't show up on the root window.  EOG does
not stop the screensaver from starting, just from showing up.  Once the
screensaver starts, use of the mouse are lost and the screensaver cannot be
disenguaged by keystrokes.  F11 will not exit fullscreen.  The only way I know
how to exit the program is with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

Expected results:
The screensaver should not be allowed to start, or at least be started over the
image so that it can be disenguaged.

Does this happen every time?
Yes
