I should also add, for clarification to anyone possibly unfamiliar with
Kerberos and, therefore, the impact of this bug, that the result of this
bug is that the incorrectly-named ticket cache is not visible to
applications searching for the ticket cache for the user, so the user
cannot (without taking unusual measures) use the resulting ticket cache.
The ticket cache is correctly owned by the user, but the ticket cache is
not found because the filename is incorrect.  As a result, the user
would normally need to acquire new Kerberos tickets post-login, which
would be unnecessary if this issue were corrected.

I will also add that using "xscreensaver" instead of light-locker is a
workaround, but of course results in perhaps a less-consistent
experience for the user.

Thanks,
Brian
