Could you please send the problem report upstream then?  It is
surprising that gnome-screensaver just does not cope with `normal' PAM
setups.  I just converted to pam-unix2 and gnome-screensaver did not
cope with neither thinkfinger nor pam-unix2, so I had to kill it off.

It should use PAM just like the other programs (not using sudo as an
example, though).

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
