Bug#677219: gnome-screensaver: Doesn't play nicely with revelation competing for modal password input

[Olivier Berger]

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

Revelation (a gnome password manager app) also includes its own "lock" dialog, which prevents accessing the displayed revelation passwords after a certain timeout.

Somehow, I managed to try and resume my session, and instead of gnome-screensaver's displayed password entry dialog, I could see revelation's window (hopefully blank, as having timed-out already).
The attached picture shows what was displayed.

Typing the password worked and unlocked the session, even though I couldn't have any visual feedback.

Maybe the bug is with revelation.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
