Package: libgnomekbdui2
Version: 2.22.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #429422


I think that the bug is in libgnomekbd and it happens if you have a
non-UTF8 locale, at least that's the way I reproduce it.

I have already sent a more detailed bug report to the GNOME bugzilla,
but no one has taken care of it so far:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529773

If I set my locate to UTF-8 (export LC_ALL=pt_PT.UTF-8) and then
restart the gnome-screensaver then the problem disappears:

$ gnome-screensaver-command --exit
$ gnome-screensaver
