Bug#827632: kde-plasma-desktop: Screensaver logs me out all now

[Tom Epperly <tepperly@gmail.com>]

Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:90
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for the work you do. I fairly recently updated my Debian
unstable system, and now the KDE screensaver logs me out everytime it
activates.

For example, if I leave my machine idle for 10 minutes. The screen
blanks. When I move the mouse, the login window appears.  When I login
again, it's starting a new session. All my previously running
applications, have been killed.  I can verify that I have been logged
out by Ctrl-Alt-F1, login via terminal, and "ps aux" shows that my
processes are gone.

I can also reproduce this problem, but typing Ctrl-Alt-L. This
activates the screensaver. When I login again, it's like logging in
from scratch rather than just unlocking the screensaver.

I've looked for a setting to control this, but I can't find one. I've
been using KDE for years, and it has never behaved this way for
me. It's just been happening for a week or two.

Thanks,

Tom
