Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

When two or more people are using the same computer via the "Switch
User" method - hit the log out button then select "Switch User", it
seems that the screen savers for those that are not currently in control
of the sceen runs.  This is a drain on CPU resources.  The screen saver
should only run under the account that currently controls the physical
display.

This is the case on the 6.06 release.

Not really a bug with the screensaver - an unintended use exposes a
problem.

** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
