Description H Rosemarin 2002-07-10 09:31:38 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kscreensaver
Version:           KDE 3.0.2 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          g++ 2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I'm using both hebrew and english keyboard layouts.
when the screen locks while in the hebrew layout I can't change the layout to english and the password dialog does not accept the key clicks.
thus I have no way of unlocking the screen!

It's not technically possible to use Ctrl+Alt+K for for making kxkb change the keyboard layout, 
because the screensaver has the keyboard grabbed. Perhaps kxkb could detect the screen is 
locked and temporarily change to the US keyboard?

It may be nice to embed (as it looks in tray) kxkb into "enter password" dialog.  
In this case user can change keyboard layout to proper and enter password (note that this layout 
can be different to US). 
 
And, as wish - remake this password-prompting dialog to bit more eye-candy. Now it looks ugly.
