Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-04-02 17:31:21 UTC 
So it looks like gnome-screensaver doesn't cope too well with not getting a mouse grab.

It just sits in a loop trying to acquire the grab over and over again.  See the downstream report, here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197452

for more details.  Maybe we should just require the mouse grab and not try to lock if it isn't available?
