I found out about this just yesterday. If a user is logged in on a
different terminal, they can kill a locked gnome-screensaver and have
free reign of the desktop.

Granted, leaving oneself logged in on multiple tty's is bad practice in
itself, but there should be something that prevents the killing of
gnome-screensaver.

That being said, how is a security loophole like this only a 'Wishlist'
item?
