Title:
  unlocking screensaver hangs when ecryptfs is unmounted

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  When the screen is locked by gnome-screensaver unlocking using the correct password freezes the system. When i change to a console "top" shows 100% cpu usage by gnome-screensaver, killing gnome-screensaver unlocks the screen.
  This problem started after i setup an encrypted private directory using ecryptfs-utils.

  In order to reproduce:

  Unmount ecryptfs:
    ecryptfs-umount-private

  Make sure the encrypted private directory is really unmounted by starting "ecryptfs-umount-private" a second time, the message 
    keyctl_search: Required key not available
    Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
  should appear. 

  Lock screensaver (gnome-screensaver-command -l) and try to unlock it.

  I noticed the problem on a netbook running ubuntu 9.10, but was able
  to reproduce it on a desktop (ubuntu 9.10 32 bit).
