Title:
  failing to unlock screensaver

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There seem to be two distinct errors when unlocking gnome-screensaver.
  Both prevents you from logging in. The first is the most serious.

  1) When I move the mouse, the lock screen appears. Whatever I type it
  only activates the top right menu. I'm completely unable to login. I
  used power button to restart the computer.

  2) Most common is that you can type your password, but the rotating-
  pause-animation never stops. You can cancel this with the button and
  usually you can get passed the screensave on the second attempt.
