Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.1.10
Severity: minor

[The following does no more happen with eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.11 due to
 acpi-support does not (yet) support xtrlock, see
 http://bugs.debian.org/605276. So it's basically a squeeze-only bug for
 documenting the cause and workarounds.]

In the seldom case that a) xtrlock is installed and b) no user is logged
in (e.g. X shows the login manager, in my case gdm), the login manager
itself is locked with xtrlock running under root and therefore requiring
the root password to unlock. (LOCK_SCREEN_ON_SUSPEND is set to yes by
default in eeepc-acpi-scripts.)

This is annoying if it happens, but should be only a problem if c) the
user who currently uses the laptop is not also root or d) forgot the
root password (e.g. because of using sudo all the time).

Since I expect c) to be a very rare case with EeePCs (maybe someone's
partner using the laptop, can't imagine such a setup is used in business
environments) and d) can be workarounded easily by switching to the text
console, logging in as user and calling "sudo killall -KILL xtrlock" or
equivalent, I don't think the impact is very high.
