Hello Shirish, hello Adrian,

first of all, @Shirish, please follow Adrian's advise on this and the general purpose of bug reporting. I have also though about writing some general stuff back to you on this.

I just tried to reproduce your problem and I was unable to,
mate-screensaver 1.8.1-2 works as expected on my system. I can
lock the screen and then type my password to unlock my screen
again without any issues.

And... I have seen this issue, too. Just yesterday.

I need to sit down and reproduce it, though. What I had was:

  o and empty i3 desktop workarea
  o with only an rdesktop session running in windowed mode (not fullscreen)
  o mate-screensaver came on
  o the password field would not gain focus whatsoever

The easiest trick then is:

  o go to a text based tty
  o log in as the user running the MATE session
  o killall mate-screensaver
  o switch back to the MATE session (it is now unlocked)

Greets,
Mike
