Title:
  Fingerprint reader gets warm when screensaver is locked

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  System: Thinkpad T61 running Ubuntu 8.04

  lsusb info: Bus 001 Device 018: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson
  Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader

  When I lock the screen using gnome-screensaver, the fingerprint reader
  on my Thinkpad T61 gets really warm after a while. The same effect can
  be achieved by leaving 'tf-tool --acquire' running in a terminal for a
  minute or so. I'm not sure whether this is a bug in thinkfinger or
  gnome-screensaver, but filing against gnome-screensaver because it
  probably shouldn't poll the fingerprint reader while the password
  prompt isn't up.

  gnome-screensaver version: 2.22.2-0ubuntu1
  libthinkfinger0 and libpam-thinkfinger versions: 0.3+r118-0ubuntu3
