Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
I upgraded gnome-screensaver, and it stopped locking the screen when I
close the lid of my laptop. It now only locks if I explicitly lock the
screen (ctrl-alt-L), or after some timeout (on the order of 5-15
minutes, ).
For anyone who counts on this behavior of gnome-screensaver as a
component of their system's security, this represents a security bug.
