Please describe the problem: screensaver can not use thinkfinger. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install tinkfinger for T41 or some other Laptops with finger scanner. 2. Edit /etc/pam.d/system-auth, add new line before pam_unix.so (It's for Fedora system, other system maybe need modify other file.) auth required pam_env.so + auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass 3. /usr/sbin/tf-tool --add-user username 3.1 swipe your finger three times to let tf-tool get you fingerprint. 4. start screensaver, and goto the unlock-dialog. 5. you can only use password to unlock screen, you can not use fingerprint to unlock the screen. Actual results: Like login, su, sudo, gdm, they will show a prompt test "password or wipe finger", and user can use fingerprint to login system. Expected results: you can only use password to unlock screen, you can not use fingerprint to unlock the screen. Does this happen every time? yes. Other information:
