In the case where you have sensitive information that you don't want

from this screen without rebooting and losing ones work?

As soon as you go for the mouse or keyboard, a logon prompt appears for
you to type in the password.

If that's not happening, then it's not a screensaver lockout that you're
facing.  But most likely a graphics crash.  Sometimes that's caused by a
screensaver, some of them are just not that well written, and crash when
they're fired up.


Don't mean to take this too OT, but this is now sounding like the regular "graphics crash" I have whenever I wake my laptop up from hibernation. Happens consistently with all 3.8.x kernels so far; not with the last 3.7.x kernel.
