Hi,

since a couple of days I have problems with using the shortcuts on my trackpad. As soon as the screensaver kicks in, I am unable to use all the standard shortcuts (swipe in/out, Mission Control, Workspaces, etc etc...). Also, the key on the keyboard that could be used to get to 'Mission Control' (F3) does not work either. It seems that disabling the screensaver is making this problem disappear, but it is of course not nice not to be able to use the screensaver (and anyway this is masking some problem...). I have googled for this problem and I found some loosely related items (that anyway did not point to a fix) and I see that by using the 'killall Dock' command from an XTerm window I can restart the doc and get rid of the problem, but it is of course annoying having to do that every time the screensaver kicks in.
Has anyone ever got the same problem? Or does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks a lot!

Fab
