Description Paul Walsh 2008-04-03 16:02:26 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using 4.0.3 (KDE 4.0.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-14-rt

When KDE 4 Screensaver is set up to lock the screen, the dialogue box for entering your password flashes up briefly then dissappears (behind the screensaver display?) but you can still type your password and unlock the screen.

This is not a big deal for single users but if you have a multi-user set up you wouldn't know who was logged in at that screen.

Thanks :)

Although this has been happening consistently up until now - the last screensaver didn't cause this problem (sorry I didn't notice which one, I didn't realise until I had entered my password and hit enter).

I have the screensaver on random and I have loads installed but I will try to spend some time later determining which screensaver(s) or group causes the problem.
