This isn't quite the case -- I tested this in F20, and it is still
unresponsibe to Shift, Ctrl, or Alt. This causes a particularly ironic
problem, since many of us learned that these are the keys that should always
be used to clear a screensaver, because anything else might inadvertently
get passed through to an application "below". (And honestly, I think that's
still good advice that the currently design undermines.)
