Comment 114 for bug 22007

Marc, are you saying now that Ubuntu won't fix this either? I know the Gnome people/person has his head up his @$$ on this, but now Canonical has joined him up there? I understand this is not high priority (though it should be if Ubuntu ever wants to compete with Windows/MacOS), but it is definitely a bug that should be fixed. Especially when replacing with xscreensaver doesn't work fully:

Personally, I put up with the above bug rather than the completely useless gnome-screensaver. In fact, if xscreensaver caused my computer to burst into flames every time it activated, I'd still use it before using gnome-screensaver, on principle.
