Description:
When locking dual monitors, only the monitor with focus at the moment of locking gets locked. The second monitor remains visible and usable with the mouse (for example if there is a browser opened, I can click around and browse), the keyboard is OK - every key press goes to the password input box (which is visible only on the locked monitor).

I think this comes from the latest update of gnome-screensaver.

After downgrade to version 3.4.1-1 the problem is gone.

Additional info:
* gnome-screensaver 3.4.2-1
* nvidia 302.17-1
This task depends upon
