X.org screensaver bypass found

This is present in Fedora 16. In my experience, after using it once, the screen lock refuses to start again until I log out and back in.

Thats because this screen combo appears to kill gnome-screensaver at least. One would hope such screenlockers detect a stuff going away and re-aquire grabs etc.
