Bug#542720: [gnome-screensaver] Ignores input during fade animation

[Andrew J. Barr]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.26.1-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When the screensaver has been activated, either by timeout or by the
command line, it ignores input (key presses and mouse movements) during
the fade animation. This is a change from previous behavior where the
screensaver could be aborted by user action during this animation. Now
users with password-protected screensavers are required to enter their
password, which is extremely frustrating when an application (i.e.
Flash) does not inhibit the screensaver.

This bug has been already reported to Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508979

but not upstream as far as I can tell.
