With fprintd/libpam_fprintd installed, the user can in all places authenticate
via the fingerprint reader. (Command line, login screen, light locker screen).
However, light locker does not interact well with fingerprint authentication:
Immediately after locking the session, the user can unlock via fingerprint. But
once the fingerprint authentication times out, light locker waits for a
password to be typed, and the user cannot re-initiate fingerprint
authentication. The usual way of pressing ESC does not have effect. There even
is a state, where light locker does not accept fingerprint nor password
authentication -- the user is left without any possibility to unlock the
screen. This is not acceptable.
Please correct light locker's behavior with respect to libpam-fprintd
authentication.
