Bug#542720: Ignores input during fade animation

[Miles Bader]

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



Hmm, it was closed at fedora, but reading the bug discussion, it's
clearly a bug -- though they seemed to be arguing about whether it's
just an X bug or whether gnome-screensaver (etc!) also have bugs...

The consensus there seems to be that it may be fixed upstream in one
way or another, but I'm not so hopeful; e.g.:

   Maybe we no longer need to open an Xorg bug for this; in [1] Adam
   Jackson (owner of this Xsync issue) stated:
       Fixed in 1.9.0
   So maybe everything will be fine when we move to Xorg 1.9.0 (my
   F13 has 1.8.2).

... but I'm running Xorg 1.9.2... (maybe that's what _tickled_ the bug
in the first place)  :(

[and it's a really annoying bug too...]
