[Bug 184682] kscreensaver immediately reengages when attempting to connect to the system with VNC

[Michael Marley]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdeartwork

I am using Kubuntu Gutsy with all of the latest stable packages applied.
When I attempt to connect to my PC over VNC, it works correctly at
first.  However, as soon as I unlock my PC, the screensaver immediately
reengages.  However, this only occurs if the screensaver activates
automatically.  If I locked it manually, the issue does not occur.  I am
using x11vnc, but the same problem occurs with krfb.  By the way, I am
using an xscreensaver screensaver with the kscreensaver-xsavers package.
I believe the problem occurs because kscreensaver listens for hardware
input from the keyboard/mouse, but not input from VNC.  If it would be
helpful for me to upload any logfiles, please tell me.
