That would be best, I figure.

I just tried to lock my screen and was not able to unlock it no matter what I 
typed. I tried pretending it was Czech layout - did not unlock. I tried 
acting as if it was US. No luck. I tried using numpad for the numbers... no 
luck.
I had to CTRL-ALT-F2 and kill kdesktop_lock.
I'll try and add some debug to kdesktop_lock to see what I am really typing.

Cheers,
Láďa
