Package: vlock
Version: 2.2.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I start X with startx from the console, my .xsession contains:

xautolock -locker "vlock -san" &

[shortend version, not all options shown]

After some idle time xautolock executes vlock -san which in turn
locks the screen.  This is fine.  I can unlock the screen fine
too.  

But sometimes vlock does not exit after unlocking the screen.

I then see vlock-main in the output of ps fax.

One would not realise this, but xautolock will not execute vlock
after idle time because xautolock "thinks" vlock is still
running.  

I was never able to reproduce circumstances which lead
to this situation but it happens quite often (up to a few times a
day) and for several moths now (perhaps even over a year  -- I
was too lazy to file bug until now).  

When I willingly leave the computer I check via ps fax if
vlock-main is in the output and if so kill it.  But often I
forget to do this.

This is a security problem, therefore I choose severity important
for this bug report.

vlock should always exit after unlocking the screen.


Thanks for your attention, Gregor
