I'm not using Gnome and have no processes called gnome*.
then its in the power-management functions, I would guess.
The workaround would be the same, find a screensaver that doesn't crash and
don't randomize.
I have not exhaustively tested all the screensaver modules but have
found
two that definitely elicit the bad behaviours on my x86_64 box. (I've
not
had the problem on i686 boxes.)
"Ant Inspect" will crash the X server, showing a gdm-greeter when
waking up
the monitor.
"Apple II" will hang the X server, requiring a ssh into the box and a
manual
kill -9 of the X server to recover without a reboot.
I have filed a bugzilla report (BZ #606136) and invite y'all to add
comments thereunto.
The BZ number is wrong. Please revise.
Not wrong - looking at it in another tab right now.
