I can't replicate this problem, but I have occasional access to a computer that can. I think somehow two instances of gnome-screensaver are being run at once.

I've attached a script that attempts to work around the problem, and collects some debugging data at the same time. Could people try running the attached script for a day or two, then attaching /tmp/screensaver-bugs.txt to a comment in this bug report?

/tmp/screensaver-bugs.txt reports the current time, reports any running instances of gnome-screensaver, kaffeine and gwenview, and reports the login time (i.e. the modification time of the .Xauthority file). Presumably gnome-screensaver is either being run when you log in or when Kaffeine/Gwenview starts.
