Description Dmitry Nikiforov 2002-03-08 17:26:09 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Modules: Screen saver National Keyboard switch
Version: KDE v2.2.2 (installed from RedHat Package)

Problem description:

   If screen saver has password protection enabled and is started while 
national keyboard switch is in national (Russian in my case) mode (i.e. 
desktop is in locked mode) there's no way to switch it back to English 
to enter the password.

   The suggestion is to have keyboard switcher active while entering 
password to return KDE from 'locked' mode. Ideally - add a keyboard 
switch indicator to the password entry window (RU/EN).
