I've discovered an updated source package of libpam_unix2 in intrepid, which addresses exactly this issue. I put a build of that in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~schmaller/+archive) and it works for me: I can now unlock my user in gnome-screensaver. ATN: I did not inspect the source changes, so I can not make any assertion about security. But it looks like this version will be part of the upcoming ubuntu release.
