I use a multi-monitor setup with nvidia twinview, 2 identical screens side by side. Under system settings > display and monitor > screen locker I have chosen a screen locker type of "Screen saver" and selected a screen saver (in this case, Asciiquarium, but this is irrelevant). When running the "Test" button, a single instance of the screensaver is launched spanning both screens. However, when the desktop is locked and the screen saver is launched, a separate instance of the screen saver appears per monitor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a screen saver. 2. When using multiple monitors, lock the desktop Actual Results: Multiple instances of the screensaver appear Expected Results: A single screensaver instance spanning both monitors

I haven't looked into this, but bug #316295 may have the same cause.
