Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2010-1556
2010-02-09 04:26:06
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gnome-screensaver
Product : Fedora 12
Version : 2.28.2
Release : 1.fc12
URL :
http://www.gnome.org
Summary : GNOME Screensaver
Description :
gnome-screensaver is a screen saver and locker that aims to have
simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
gnome-screensaver currently doesn't deal with monitors getting removed
properly. If the unlock dialog is on the removed monitor then the unlock
dialog and its associated keyboard grab are not moved to an existing monitor
when the monitor removal is processed. This means that users can gain access to
the locked system by placing the mouse pointer on an external monitor and then
disconnect the external monitor.
