Happens here too, each time I activate the screensaver I cannot log back in normally. Started this morning. I'm running maverick btw.
If this happens, you can choose 'switch user' and then login again using the normal GDM login screen. So it is the screen saver dialog that does not recognise the password. auth.log says: May 6 11:27:43 lord-jim unix_chkpwd[8053]: check pass; user unknown May 6 11:27:44 lord-jim unix_chkpwd[8055]: check pass; user unknown May 6 11:27:44 lord-jim unix_chkpwd[8055]: password check failed for user (maarten) May 6 11:27:44 lord-jim gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(gnome-screensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost= user=maarten ...
