gnome-screensaver does not activate with active virt-viewer window.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When system mouse is grabbed into virtual machine window and it is the active window then system screenlock does not
    activate after idle delay which was defined in gnome-screensaver.

  • However after taking the mouse out of the Virtual Machine window, system screenlock immediately activates and locks
    the screen.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • virt-manager
  • gnome-screensaver
