[Bug 841109] [NEW] Cannot restore session after "locking screen"

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from natty to oneiric I've started experiencing this
issue: if I leave the pc idle for some minutes the screen goes black
(because I think that there isn't a default screensaver - see #808512),
but I cannot re-enter my session, because the password dialog doesn't
come up.

Steps to reproduce:
1)enter the session
2)leave the session idle
3)when the screen goes black wait 5/10 minutes
4)move the mouse/pres some keys
5)the screen remains black

Note: if you move the mouse immediately after the screen goes black
(step 2), the password dialog came up  and I'm able to enter the
password...

Manually locking the screen via menù or keyboard settings trigger the
same issue.

P.S: I don't know if this bug is related to gnome-control-center or
gnome-screensaver of other package, because I cannot exactly figure out
what is going bad...
