gnome-screensaver is behaving rather badly. I'm running with two display
in xinerama mode. I don't know whether this started when 2.16.3 came out
or when xorg-server was last updated, but I think it started doing this
last week. I have been on travel this week, so I really didn't get a
chance to look at it until today.

When gnome-screensaver is activated, stderr gets:
The program 'gnome-screensaver' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 8169 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

(gnome-screensaver-command:56091): gnome-screensaver-WARNING **: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply raised:
 Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

>From that point my "primary" screen is black and I have been unable to
get to back to life without restarting and Gnome.

Interestingly, the screen is still "on" and I can see the cursor. If I
can locate a window, I can drag it to my "secondary" screen, which is
still working.

All ports are up to date.
