Bug#601761: seahorse-plugins: gnome-screensaver does not activate when seahorse-agent prompts for password

Package: seahorse-plugins
Version: 2.30.1-3
Severity: normal

Reproduce:

- Make seahorse-agent ask for a password (e.g. start an application who asks for a keyring pw)
- With the pw dialog open, try to activate the screensaver--it will not activate

This does not happen with other pw dialogs (e.g. icedove master pw, etc)

This poses a potential security risk if the screensaver is set to be activated automatically
and some application asks for the password before (e.g., getting an encrypted IM message, ...)
-> the screen gets never locked

thanks,

Florian
