Title:
  gnome-screensaver will only let you unlock screen with first pointer
  even if there are multiple pointers via MPX

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  Even when there are multiple pointers via MPX, the gnome-screensaver
  unlock dialog will only let you enter your password with the first
  pointer and keyboard pair.

  To reproduce:
  Using Ubuntu 10.04 and having set up MPX (there's a tutorial at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MPX) ,
  Let the screensaver turn on (you could shorten the time it takes if you don't want to wait.)
  Try to unlock the computer with the second mouse / keyboard pair. 
  Notice that it completely ignores the second pair, making it impossible to unlock the screen with the second pair.
  Unlock the screen with the first mouse / keyboard pair.

  What I expected to happen instead:
  That I would be able to unlock the screen with any MPX pointer/keyboard&mouse pair.
