Description Konstantinos Arvanitis 2003-04-17 10:32:08 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

I have my input and output encoding setting to UTF8. When the screen saver is activated while the keyboard is set to Greek (el) pressing the switch-language keys (CONTROL+ALT+K in my configuration) will send a single character to the password prompt and not change the language. Thus I am unable to type my password, since it uses some latin characters.

I think that language switching should be enabled when the password prompt is active.
