I'm seeing weird behavior on my Debathena cluster machine.  If I let  
the screen saver activate (or explicitly choose "Lock Screen" from the  
panel menu), and then send myself a personal zephyr, it raises gnome- 
panel and the most-recently-active window on the screen on TOP of the  
screen saver.  The instant I touch a key or move the mouse, they  
disappear, however this is a pretty serious problem, particularly if  
the user has anything sensitive on their screen.

I also tested this with paco and got the same result, so I know this  
isn't due to any funky Xresources or zwgc.desc customizations I have.

Before I file something in Jira, is this known and/or is there any  
testing anybody wants me to do?
