Sentry Crash Report:

Description Benni Hill 2013-01-27 19:52:59 UTC 
Under certain circumstances it is not possible to lock the screen with <Ctrl>+<Alt>+L or via kickoff.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure automatic screen locker is set up and "Require password after" is set to a long enough time (eg. 60 s)
2. Wait until screensaver starts and move mouse before password is required
3. Screen will unlock (without password)
Actual Results:  
Starting screenlocker manually by hotkey or kickoff won't work now.

(Automatic screen locking is still working and if you wait until password is required to unlock, manual locking will work again.)

Stop grace period on unlock

It was safe to leak the grace timer when it was in the lock process,
since it was killed on unlock. Now it is not.

A password should always be required if the screenlocker is explicitly
triggered; but a screenlocker invoked while the grace timer from a
previous invocation is still active can be dismissed without a password,
at least for a short while. This also meant that the screenlocker
keyboard shortcut would not work until the grace timer expired.
