can you explain what the issue is in more detail and point to where in the 
code the problem is being experienced (either in kfingermanager or in 
krunner/lock?). i don't have a finger print scanner so can't check for myself.

what we need is a maintainer to step up and maintain it in svn. while this is 
a great feature, without someone who can take care of bug reports, etc it will 
become abandoned code that sits and rots in svn. that is not good.

so unless someone is willing to maintain this feature actively, it really 
shouldn't go into main KDE releases. maintenance does not take a lot of time, 
it just takes a consistent amount of effort applied over time.
