Version: 1.0 (using Devel) OS: Linux When Enabling a Screensaver and Not Checking the "Require Password After" Box, a Password is always required regardless of the settings when ending the screensaver to resume where you left off in KDE 4.6.3. The configuration file "kscreensaverrc", contains the following: ----- [ScreenSaver] Enabled=true Lock=false LockGrace=60000 PlasmaEnabled=false Saver=KSolarWinds.desktop Timeout=60 ----- The "Lock" parameter is correctly set to "false". Regardless, when moving the mouse (or touchpad), or pressing a key to end the screensaver, a login box appears and the user password must be entered to reenter the normal KDE session. If a file was previously open and unsaved, all becomes lost. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Settings > System Settings > Display and Monitor > Screen Saver 2) Choose "Solar Winds" 3) Check the box "Start Automatically after:" and enter "1 minute" 4) Do NOT check the "Require password after:" box 5) Do NOT check the "Allow widgets on screen saver" box 6) Click "Apply" 7) Wait about 1 minute until the screen saver appears 8) Move your mouse, or press a key Actual Results: You will be prompted to enter a password to reenter the KDE session and all applications which were previously opened are gone. Any unsaved files are lost. Expected Results: No password should be required and no login screen should appear. The previous KDE session should return with all original work intact.

Additional test just performed: No logout or 'crash' occurs, or login is required, when ending a screensaver which isn't OpenGL based.
this is rather clearly an x server crash and thus out of scope for any kde component.
