Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.30.0-2squeeze1
Severity: normal

I am using My debian squeeze (6) with 2 monitors/screens on my nvidia grafic
card. for that i am using the orignal nvidia driver (downloaded from nvidia
site and compiled). Some time ago i used the emty screen saver for my
lockscreen. but after that i wanted to try out sth else. so i switched to the
foating debian (german name: Schwebndes Deian) screensaver.

the floting debian screensaver seems to have sometimes problems with my
multiscreen configurations. somtimes it is running on just one monitor
sometimes on both. Also much often i cant unlock the screen. i move my mouse,
the screens switch to on but are black, on one screen i can see the courser but
i cant move it to the other one. The only way to get back to my desktop is to
switch to tty1, login and type in killall gnome-screensaver. I also mentioned
that the gnome screensaver process uses a lot of cpu on this state. because
that happened now 3 or more times i will switch back to the emty screen
screensaver.

maybe i sould also mention that i have some script running to shut down my
screens after ten minutes, its looks like this and is loading with my .xlogin:

while true; do xset dpms force off; sleep 10m; done


maybe this is anought to reproduce this problem. maybe not. if there are some
logs you can use i can try to provide them but no prommise. i dont have much
time so i wount do any reproducing or sth like.

greetings treaki
