Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I just got back from my desk and saw a little yellow notification saying "Please call Tom on xxxx urgently!" where xxx was
a phone number. I hadn't even noticed the "Leave a message" feature in the screensaver until today.

I tried to copy-and-paste the number but the box disappeared. I tried checking Evolution to see if it had been stored there, but apparently not.

Fortunately it didn't turn out to be a problem this time, but you should probably change the dialog to warn people about this.
