Hello all. I'm running 8.0. I enables the screen saver under KDE. When it activates, and I try to enter my password, it won't accept it. If I look in messages I see an authentication failure for my username. I have to go to a vc and kill the screen saver process.

Is this a known bug? Any idea as to how to fix it? Thanks!

I have similar trouble with the screen lock under fvwm. The first time I enter a password, it's refused. The second try works. For my situation, the problem seems to be the first key-hit to "wake-up" the screensaver, is left in the input buffer and interpreted as part of the password.

You should use a key that will not perform an action, <shift>, <ctrl>, or <alt> and nothing will be left in the key_buffer.

I think there have been some problems with those password. With Kde2.2.2 my cat jumped on the keyboard and wrote a very long "password". Obviously it was incorrect, but it did not reconize my password with I entered it after that. Praise
