Please, sponsor gnome-screensaver 2.27.0 to jaunty

thank, that update needs extra testing though, the running instance didn't handle correctly the version change there and didn't let me unlock my screen after locking without restart

Strange, I just retested it, and I can unlock my screen sucessfully with my up-to-date jaunty VirtualBox :/

Didier: can you get it into a PPA and some people to test it?

@Daniel: for sure, but we gave a closer look with seb128 and I can reproduce it now (it's just during the upgrade : gnome-screensaver 2.26 client command can't unlock properly gnome-screensaver 2.24 server side).

So, when relaunching your session, this issue disappear, but we need to handle the transition. An upstream bug has been opened by seb128 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576463). I will try to give a look as well ASAP.

let's unsubscribe the sponsors for now it's late to get in into jaunty and the changes are not worth the breakage we can deal with that next cycle

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-screensaver - 2.27.0-0ubuntu1
