--- Comment #1 from Richard Connon conan@irconan.co.uk --- Further to the above. It works fine in a standard gnome session.

--- Comment #2 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- Thanks for the report - I can reproduce this.
As a workaround you could add:
$ cat >> ~/.xmonad/session gnome-screensaver & ^D
But I am not sure why gnome-session is not starting gnome-screensaver for an xmonad session - gnome-session management is still a bit of a mystery/black-art to me... :)
But maybe we should just start it by hand if available in xmonad-start for now for gnome sessions.
(It might also be better to move xmonad-gnome to a separate package but that is another story.)
BTW I just tested and same problem seems to happen for other alternative gnome sessions too (eg Openbox and E16). So seems this problem may not be specific to xmonad.

But maybe we should just start it by hand if available in xmonad-start for now for gnome sessions.
I added this workaround to rawhide (f19 git) now, and also added gnome-screensaver to @xmonad-gnome in comps-f19. These can probably be backported later to F18.

--- Comment #4 from Fedora End Of Life endoflife@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
