In the last two days i have noticed that if my desktop goes to the screensaver, i cant unlock it. Moving the mouse gives me a pointer and makes the screensaver pause, but the login prompt does not appear. Hitting escape makes the screensaver begin again.

So far, the only way to get back is to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

After i noticed this, i installed the new ATI Catalyst 8.7 driver but same problem.

Anyone else experience this?

Sorry, I forgot to mention basic things like the version Im using is Ubuntu 8.04 with gnome desktop. Also, it seems to happen for any choice of screensaver.
