Mmh, interesting, I have seen a similar  behavior in my desktop (unstable with
kde-sc 4.12.4) but with kscreenlocker_g, which is closer to the bug reported
in the upstream bug tracker:
 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316348
but I can't reproduce it in my notebook (jessie with kde-sc 4.12.3).

I guess I'll try to narrow it down once I'm back home.
