Name        : gnome-screensaver
Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 2.28.2
Release     : 1.fc12
URL         : http://www.gnome.org
Summary     : GNOME Screensaver
Description :
gnome-screensaver is a screen saver and locker that aims to have
simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

gnome-screensaver currently doesn't deal with monitors getting  removed
properly.  If the unlock dialog is on the removed monitor  then the unlock
dialog and its associated keyboard grab are not  moved to an existing monitor
when the monitor removal is processed.  This means that users can gain access to
the locked system by placing  the mouse pointer on an external monitor and then
disconnect the  external monitor.
