Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.22.2-2
Severity: important
Perhaps once a month, gnome-screensaver will take my password and then
just sit there "Checking..." my password. I have let this sit up to 5
minutes before, to no avail.
The only way I can get out of it (short of maybe zapping X) is to ssh
in from another machine and kill gnome-screensaver. Today, I ssh'd in
and noticed a `gnome-screensaver-dialog' running, so I attached with
gdb and got this backtrace:

I then killed gnome-screensaver-dialog. The dialog disappeared and I
could use my desktop again, but thankfully gnome-screensaver is still
running, so killing the dialog process seems like a better workaround,
for now.
Potentially related: in /var/log/auth.log I found this:
Jun 17 13:34:53 shigeru gnome-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: couldn't unlock
'login' keyring: 1
then, later, I saw it with an interesting message before it:
Jun 17 13:36:27 shigeru gnome-keyring-daemon[6754]: couldn't write 8 bytes to
client: Broken pipe
