Title:
  [Natty] Cannot exit screensaver : frozen

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  Noticed recently (but often) on Dell XPS M1330 (Intel graphics), looks
  like a regression :

  - When system has gone to screensaver, then screen turned off, moving
  mouse brings back a screen on which screensaver is static (stopped),
  mouse cursor moving OK, but no password dialog, no way to get out of
  this.

  - Shitfing back and forth to text console and X11 works, text console
  works OK.

  - The screensaver view gives the impression something works and it
  "would want to get out of this"  : Seems to react to typing password
  blindly (disk activity, mouse cursor changes shape) but the
  screensaver static image stays there forever.

  There's absolutely no way to get out of this except for rebooting the
  system completely. (restart gdm isn't enough)
