Assuming the TGT renewal works in gnome-screensaver (which it does for me on
EL5), I think the ideal behaviour here is that krb5-auth-dialog closes its
window when the screen saver triggers, and that it doesn't open any windows
as long as the screen saver is active.

This (different) fix from Ubuntu may be of interest:
