Deven,

To get an xtrace log, please run the following in one terminal:

xtrace -d :0 -D :9 -k 2>&1 | tee ~/xtrace.log

In another please run:
killall gnome-screensaver
DISPLAY=:9.0 gnome-screensaver

Replace ":0" with the actual number of your X display, although :0 will
be correct if you are the first user to log in to the machine. If you're
unsure, please run "env | grep DISPLAY | cut -d = -f 2 | cut -d . -f 1"

Once you have this all running, please perform the steps which recreate
the issue. Once you have recreated it, please attach your xtrace log to
this bug report (note that xtrace is likely to produce a huge amount of
information)

***IMPORTANT***
The xtrace log will show any kepresses received by gnome-screensaver. If you unlock your screen with your password whilst running gnome-screensaver with xtrace, then it will be possible to extract your password from the log. In this case, please compress the log to a tar.gz and e-mail it directly to me (chris.coulson at canonical.com), and I will cut out the relevant parts to attach to the bug report.
