I noticed the same problem (running Gutsy). With me the screen-saver
regains its focus after I have typed some stuff although I can't figure
out exactly when it regains focus.

What is quiet worse is that when the screen-saver loses focus, I can
execute arbitrary stuff in my gnome-session. For example, at one point I
could press Alt+F2 and type "xterm<enter>". At this point the screen-
saver got the focus back and after logging back in I saw a new xterm
window sitting pretty on the desktop.

In short, this sounds like a *major* security problem to me and not just
some annoyance as others have reported so far.
