Bug#679576: kscreensaver: can't unlock because keyboard layout switching shortcut does not work when screen is locked
Package: kscreensaver
Version: 4:4.8.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have German and Russian keyboard layouts enabled. For layout switching, the
KDE default is enabled which is Ctrl+Alt+k.
When I left my desktop and returned after a while, the screen was locked and
trying to unlock it I found that Russian keyboard layout was active. Trying to
switch back in order to enter my password did not work. The shortcut apparently
has no effect as long as the lock is active. In GNOME this works.
So the only remedy was to switch to a text console and to kill the kscreensaver
process.
