When trying that, I got to my desktop screen after a suspend, but it was
frozen, no reaction to mouse or keyboard. Maybe the screen locker
overlay has focus but is invisible/hidden?

I did this because I wanted to set a wallpaper for the locker - that
should be possible for the simple locker too!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change the screen locker to "Desktop Widgets"
2. change the wallpaper in the settings for that option
3. suspend
4. resume
Actual Results:  
desktop is visible, but inaccessible

Expected Results:  
Desktop Widgets screen locker visible and accessible

This is the RC1 packages, not the beta2 - but there is no such version here.

I can confirm this! Screen locker with widgets used to work in both
beta1 and beta2 but got broken with RC1 of 4.10.0

Running openSUSE 12.2 binary packages.

With kde 4.10 RC2, when I resume the cachew menu is visible, and
contains an item "unlock screen". Clicking it makes the password entry
show.

Why isn't that just displayed???

I have now twice experienced that this did not work.

First time, there was no screen locker, but I could not use the mouse. I
eventually found a window that had mouse focus, and regained it. Prior
to that suspend, I had detached a wacom pad, and shut down krita.

Second time, I had to kill X and restart my session

Obviously, I do not find this configuratipon of the screen locker
trustworthy at this point ;)

Tried suspending an extra time, same result as above - had to kill X.

How can I change the wallpaper of the "simle locker"?

I have this bug too. If I set the screen locker to "desktop widgets" and
then "configure" it works normally. As soon as I lock the screen the
following happens: no visible change (I see my desktop exactly as it was
when I choose to lock the screen); I can move the mouse but cannot
interact with anything on the desktop (it's like the screen is locked
but the screenlocker is completely transparent). The only thing to do it
restart X

This used to work fine for a while, then the bug popped up and I had to
switch back to the simple locker. Eventually I tried again and the bug
disappeared. Now it's back on two of my boxes.

Yesterday, I tried switching it on / off and revering to default themes
and then back. Eventually it just starting working again. It was working
fine when I went to bed, but this morning its back again!

Running Arch Linux, kdm, KDE 4.10.5-1.

Also, I'm wondering if this bug is in the correct section. Shouldn't
this apply to kscreensaver / locker-qml?

I can confirm this bug in KDE versions prior to 4.11, but, in my tests,
seems solved in 4.11.2 (not tested in previous bugfixes releases of this
major series).

It's funny you mention it as fixed today, because it has been working
fine for me for a while now too, but just last night I did an updated
(via pacman) and it seems much of kde was bumped to 4.11.2-1.

Anyway, now the same problem is back and I had to switch to the normal
locker again.

This is also a recent (few months) fresh install of arch and I'm running
stock theme, etc.

Hmm. I'm also running Arch Linux testing up-to-date, KDE 4.11.2-1, Qt-
theme bespin and plasma-theme Amakage, and seems to be working ok in
some couples of suspend/resumes.
