Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Even when there are multiple pointers via MPX, the gnome-screensaver
unlock dialog will only let you enter your password with the first
pointer and keyboard pair.

To reproduce:
Using Ubuntu 10.04 and having set up MPX (there's a tutorial at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MPX) ,
Let the screensaver turn on (you could shorten the time it takes if you don't 
want to wait.)
Try to unlock the computer with the second mouse / keyboard pair. 
Notice that it completely ignores the second pair, making it impossible to 
unlock the screen with the second pair.
Unlock the screen with the first mouse / keyboard pair.

What I expected to happen instead:
That I would be able to unlock the screen with any MPX pointer/keyboard&mouse 
pair.
