[Bug 33257] Cannot unlock a locked screen

[Pekka Jääskeläinen]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase kdm (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When I lock the screen, I cannot unlock it anymore as the unlock dialog
does not accept my password. I have to kill kdm to get out of it, so
it's quite annoying as I have the habit of locking the screen when I
leave the computer.

I also tried creating an another user and it has the same problem.

I changed my lastname in the System settings -> User from 'Jääskeläinen' to 'Jaaskelainen' due to messed up scandinavian letters in the splash screen welcome text. After that the unlock stopped working. It might be totally unrelated to that and actually due to some update as I've updated the packages quite regularly, about
every day.

You may also privmsg me at irc (visit0r) if you want me to look
something up for helping debugging this out.
