Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I'm running hardy amd64. If you want to test type a few chars and copy, and hold ctrl+v. The computer will lock up, and you will not be able to switch to virtual terminals.

Well, that was fun.
I was able to get out of it using CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, though.
Confirmed.
