      Not considered a bug, but rather a missing feature.

   It is sometimes possible to get into a state where although screen 0
   is ``locked,'' typed input (supposedly to the password prompt) goes to
   a window in screen 1.  I haven't tried it with the new screensaver,
   but I would claim that this is indeed a bug.

You're right -- when I grab the pointer I should constrain it to the
xscreensaver window so the user can't roll the mouse onto screen 1
without realizing it.

It will be fixed....
