[Bug 55277] Unlock window does not appear

Sat Aug 5 09:27:38 UTC 2006

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

After one of latest upgrades (but not to gnome-screensaver package unfortunately (I've tried older version)) when my screensaver activates, and then when I move the mouse, press a key etc. the unlock window does not appear (I either got a blank black screen or  last frame from screensaver running). However, I can type in my password and press enter and it unlocks. I've done some investigation and run gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug from console (interesting part below). As you can see there are some errors from glib. As I'm not a GTK/Glib programmer (nor I have seen gnome-screensaver source) I cannot tell where exactly the problem is. On "fresh" user on the same machine everything works ok. So probably some part of my settings are wrong/corrupted. Output from  gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug follows:
