Description Alan Bruce 2010-02-12 11:13:18 UTC 
When the desktop is locked and gnome-screensaver is running, after clicking the "leave message" button, I get an input box.
I leave a message.
The message appears to be accepted and the screensaver reactivates.
I then unlock the screen.
No message is displayed.

Frequency : every time
No screenshot possible.

Fedora 12 
2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64
gnome-screensaver-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64
Compiz enabled
GL Desktop enabled

This seems to affect most (all?) Fedora users.

Well actually according to #619954 this button is no more. So I guess this ticket should be invalidated

(Unless 2.30.x branch is still maintained, in which case the "leave message" button should be removed also from the branch)
