Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
Sorry I don't know what package to attach this and I couldn't see a gnome-
screensaver and I know it's not xscreensaver any more

   * What led up to the situation?
left my desk and the screen saver activated, when I returned and pressed a
screeen only one of my screens showed info and the other was blank
the blank screen is where I believe the unlock dialog was

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I could blindly type in my password and it would work
I tried leaving the screen to time out again and re activiating it again but
this didnt' solve the problem

This happends with the VGA X driver and the NVIDIA drivers but I've been unable
to test with nouveau as they don't work with my  gfx card

I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like screen wise
