Description Dominik George 2014-04-18 08:15:33 UTC 
Connecting from krdc to a krfb server on a display that is locked by the screensaver, entering the password does not help to unlock the screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Krfb
2. Connect from another computer with Krdc
3. Enter password, hit enter or click button.
Actual Results:  
Password is invalid

Expected Results:  
Screen should be unlocked

The password does not contain any characters that could depend on keyboard layout or charset.
