Entering a password in gksu causes the window to disappear, but the screen remains shaded and no longer accepts normal input. (Switching to console works.) Same symptoms for xscreensaver. BZflag acts somewhat differently - switching to windowed mode instead of fullscreen causes the screen to go blank, but BZflag still accepts input. (e.g: F12 to quit) From console, killing the offending application returns the GUI to normal. Unfortunately, this bug makes GUI administrative applications almost unusable.
