I had a shortcut set to the "lock" function in the keyboard shortcut
settings with my desktop's opensuse, where E17 is provided by the factory
repo that is supposed to use stable releases of E17...
I locked the screen with the shortcut and it seemed to be working
correctly. The little input box in the middle of the screen registered
each keystroke of my user password with a bullet symbol. But when I hit
enter it insisted that my password was invalid. I used <ctrl>+<alt>+<F3> to
try the same passwd at tty3's passwd prompt. It worked there, proving it
wasn't a keyboard issue {or a case of brain flatulence for that matter}
I wound up having to crash out of X... Which bothers me mostly because
recovering the half dozen files I was editing in various xterms with vim
was aggravating...
I don't know why this happened but my solution was to install xlockmore and
then use the settings>screen>screen lock setting to use xlock, which has no
problem recognizing my passwd...
Any idea why E's own screenlock function didn't recognize it???
