[Bug 71254] unable to unlock screen; gnome-screensaver appears to hang

[Micah Abbott]

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu 6.10 i386 on a Sun Java Workstation W1100z (AMD
Opteron 150 with nVidia Quadro FX 500) and have been unable to coax the
screensaver to allow me to unlock it.

After the screensaver has been activated, I can bring up the unlock
dialog as expected.  However, when I try to enter input into the
password field or click any of the related buttons, I get no response.
My only recourse is to ctrl-alt-f1 to a console and kill the related
processes.

I am running with NIS enabled, however, the user I use to login to the
system is a local user.

Please let me know if I can provide further information.
