Bug 243785

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

If the screen is locked with Kscreensaver, one cannot simply type the password to unlock. One must type any random key or move the mouse in order to bring up the password dialog, and *then* type the password. Contrast xscreensaver, which passes all typing to the input field of the unlock dialog, so that one simply has to type one's password to unlock.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Assume that the password is "secret".

1. Lock the screen with Kscreensaver.
2. Make sure the unlock dialog is not shown yet.
3. Type the password "secret", and then press enter.

Actual Results:  
The password field clearly has 5 characters in it, which are of course "ecret". The "s" key that was pressed initially only activated the unlock dialog, but was not actually passed into the input field. Naturally, when enter is pressed, the screensaver will respond that the password was wrong.

Expected Results:  
The password field should receive all the characters that were typed, including the keypress that activated the dialog in the first place.

Contrast xscreensaver, which gets this right. I don't remember if gnome-screensaver gets this right or not.
