            Bug ID: 314227
           Summary: Unable to unlock screensaver once triggered - never
                    prompted to enter password
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kscreensaver
           Version: 4.9.98 RC3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcheckpass
          Assignee: kscreensaver-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: liquid@liquidonline.ca

Since updating to RC2 of KDE 4.10 on an otherwise standard Kubuntu 12.10
system, I'm no longer able to "unlock" the screen.  I've tried several
different screensavers in the options, but the same is true.

The screen remains black, and no widgets show either, but even with widgets
off, it doesn't fare better.  Pressing any key on the keyboard, or mouse, or
hitting any corners does not reveal the password prompt, so I can only get out
by pressing CTRL+ALT+BKSPC.

This is true whether I press CTRL+ALT+L, or if I let it timeout.  I've worked
around it by turning off the screensaver for now.

The system otherwise continues to operate just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable Screensaver (timeout or hotkey to lock)
2. try to move mouse, press any keys etc... to trigger password prompt
3. Prompt never appears.
Actual Results:  
Unable to get out of screen lock

Expected Results:  
Password prompt should appear so I can unlock system
