Version: unknown (using KDE 3.2.92 (3.3 beta2), Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-rc2-love3 To reproduce: 1) Set the screen saver to require a password to stop. 2) Press the K button to bring up the system menu, but don't select anything. 3) Wait until the screen saver appears. 4) Wiggle mouse, or press a key. Screen saver disappears, leaving the user to continue. Expected behaviour: Upon wiggling the mouse, a password dialog should appear.
Are you sure the screensaver really appears? Due to bug #78871, it shouldn't, and you're more probably just seeing the monitor being blanked by power saving.
And what does your "After x seconds" under "[x] Require password to stop" read and how long do you wait before 4)?
Ahh, Lubos Seems to be correct here. I have the screen saver showing for only a short time before power managment kicks in, so was confusing the two. Stephan, Time read 15 seconds, and I did wait that long (But only by accident! I was unaware of that setting). Cheers!
