Comment 21 for bug 446395

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-screensaver - 2.28.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
gnome-screensaver (2.28.0-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/08_gs_dialog_request_to_exit.patch:
    - Don't let the dialog process exit on its own accord when the
      password is entered incorrectly 5 times. Instead, request that
      the main gnome-screensaver process terminates it when ready. This
      avoids a race where the dialog process exits during the middle
      of the auth-failure animation, leading to unhandled X errors
      (LP: #446395)
