+Have gotten a few reports and concerns about issues waking up from the screensaver. The details as we know it:
+-Blank Screensaver is set to come on after 15 minutes of the workstation being "idle".
+-If users attempt to wake the screensaver up after less than 15-20 minutes of the screensaver being on, then the screensaver will wake up in a few seconds.
+-If users attempt to wake the screensaver up after it being on more than 15-20 minutes, then the screensaver will take 30-90+ seconds to wake up.
+-So total idle time is around 30-35 minutes before the issue will occur. Seems to only occur on the workstations. Doesn't matter if the user wakes up using mouse or keyboard.
+We are actively working a ticket with RedHat on the issue. If anyone has details differing from our above understanding, let me know off list, it may prove useful in determining the ultimate cause.
+If this is a concern the workaround is to disable the screensaver. You can run the following command on each workstation to disable the screensaver. Once a fix is identified and pushed, we'll let everyone know and re-enable the screensaver as necessary.
+gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled false
