Public bug reported:
I am running kubuntu 8.10 updated to kde 4.2 through intrepid-backports
repository packages. I have installed only the screensavers that shipped
with the distribution by default.
apt-cache policy kscreensaver:
kscreensaver:
Installed: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1
Candidate: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1

Expected behavior
After a set idle time screensaver should turn on, and after an optional wait
should lock access to the computer. Access to computer can be re-opened by
touching mouse or keyboard to bring up a password dialog box. If correct
password is entered, access is given to the ordinary desktop running as before
the screensaver turned on.
Actual behavior
When using OpenGL enabled screensavers like, for example, 'flux", the
screensaver itself displays properly, but after the computer is locked such
that a password is required to open it again, it is impossible to continue to
use the computer.
The dialog box for entering the password and unlocking does not appear. The
opengl 'flux' display is terminated and the log/in screen shows (not the
desktop background but the kde splash login) - without any login related stuff
like a place to enter your password. It just shows the background of the kde
splash login, not the login dialog.
There appears to be no way out of this lock (not even restart X
CtrlAltBackspace) except the dreaded power button.
