Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
In gnome-screensav
In gnome-power-
Everything is normal at first:
- after 6 minutes, screensaver starts.
- after 20 minutes, display sleeps.
After that, I move the mouse or press a key. Display comes back.
But after 6 minutes (if I do nothing)
If I press Ctrl-Alt-L, I get the same behaviour.
Using Edgy.
EDIT:
Actually I can't reproduce this behaviour anymore. Maybe there are other things that I forgot and that cause this behaviour to happen. If or when I find out I will post a new comment. Till then forget about this bug report.

I can confirm this behaviour on Edgy. It happens on an upgraded install on a PC and on a clean install on a mac.
If the display is never allowed to sleep then the screensaver starts up exactly as you'd expect (on timeout and on ctrl-alt-l). Once the screen has been allowed to sleep the screensaver no longer activates.
The bizarre thing is that _sometimes_ the screensaver will work after a screen sleep, but not often!
The only way t restore normal behaviour is a reboot. Logout or restart X don't affect it.
