Title:
  Keyboard/Mouse non-responsive after screen-saver wake

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dell Latitude E6400  w/ Intel video card
  Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit

  Ubuntu set to lock screen after 10 minutes. Sometimes (less than 50%
  of the time, but far too often for me) when trying to unlock the
  screen, no password dialog appears, but I can still move the mouse
  around and see windows that were open prior to the screen blanking.
  Keyboard appears to be unresponsive, but I can ctrl+alt+f1 to get to
  the command line.

  From the command line, executing "sudo restart lightdm" gets me back
  to the login screen, but then after logging in my desktop is violently
  flickering. This is solved by a reboot.

  This has been previously reported by others at askubuntu: 
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/84164/system-freeze-on-exit-from-screensaver-unity

  I'm currently seeing if uninstalling gnome-screensaver fixes the
  problem (although now, my laptop doesn't require a password to use).
