hi,

after upgrading to 2.26.1-1 from 2.24.1-2+b1, if i'm running a fullscreen
app in compiz (say watching a fullscreen movie as mentioned in my previous
bug report) and the screensaver activates, the screensaver doesn't always
take control of the desktop screen.  the symptoms:

 * the previous app seems to stay on top (i.e. the movie continues)
 * mouse or keyboard activity makes the cursor appear, but one is unable
   to controll the fullscreen application (i.e. the screen is actually
   locked)
 * no screensaver visible
 * worst, you never see the password prompt, but if you're familiar with
   the problem you can jiggle the mouse a little to see the cursor and
   blindly type in your password and hit enter and it usually unlocks.


this is a really familiar problem between compiz<->gnome-screensaver, which
iirc was previously fixed with some kind of local patch to gnome-screensaver,
though my memory is a bit fuzzy on whether it was gnome-screensever, the
x server, or compiz which was ultimately to blame.

i have not recently updated compiz, but it's possible that i may have updated
some xorg component, so if you think this bug shoudl go somewhere else please
feel free to enlighten me :)
