Comment 5 for bug 106060

Hello,

I don't know whether you have anything to do with maintaining
Ubuntu, but I got copied on your note, so I'm sending you information.

This bug (106060) showed up with the updates that were installed on
or about 4/13/07. At the same time, several of the other screensaver
modules stopped working correctly. I know they worked correctly before
these last updates. I think this failure might very well be related to 106060.

Some of the Gnome-Screensaver modules that no longer display properly
are: AntInspect, AntSpotlight, Moebius, Pipes, Regular 4D Polytopes,
Polyhedra, Spheremonics, and Superquadratics. I didn't find any others.

This problem appears on both the 32-bit PC version and the 32-bit Mac
version, although Molecule does not freeze my G3 running OS X 10.2.8.
It stops the system clock while it's calculating molecules, but the system
is still responsive to mouse and keyboard input, unlike my PCs, which aren't.

I would really like to see this bug fixed ASAP, as I have a client's computer
ready to deliver, but if he chooses Molecule, his PC will freeze, and I will
get a support call, and he will blame me for the problem. This I don't want.
