Description Drew Edwards 2012-11-25 05:07:17 CET 
Description of problem:
Using xfce on up-to-date x86-64 cauldron installation (lenovo thinkpad x120e).  When xscreensaver kicks in (after closing and then opening the laptop) and locks the screen it will not accept the correct password to unlock.  Can only get back to usable desktop by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace and logging in again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Still present.
Comment 2 Drew Edwards 2012-12-18 06:50:08 CET 
still present.  Not limited to xfce, also observed in razorqt desktop when xscreensaver starts.
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-25 14:38:25 CET

can be a dup of bug 7687 

(there is some 'workaround' you could try them if it works)

Sorry I missed updates to this bug. Is this still happening with mga3? I know I fixed a few issues with various DEs relating to pam registrations but not sure if this would help in this case.

Closing as this was resolved some time ago.
