Package: kscreensaver
Version: 4:4.10.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It seeems to me that the unlock-session window keeps
a typed but forgotten (i.e. not entered with ENTER)
password forever, if I'm right this is a security breach
cheers

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. lock a KDE session
(or wait enough idle time if automatic lock is on).
(I have also a screen saver enabled, but this should be irrelevant)
2. write the user-password in the unlock form, but DO NOT click ENTER
(e.g. because something distracted you); 
3. wait some time (e.g. exit the room to take a coffee)
3. come back to the unlock and the password is still typed in the form
(you see the black dots), an ENTER is enough to enter the session.
(Security breach: somebody evil arrives and just clicking
ENTER enters your account ...)

Expected Results:
The password form of the unlock-session window
must be cleared after, say,
1 minute from when the last character is entered.
(That was the behavior say one year ago.)
