Description of problem: Hitting enter before the dialog pops up sends the event anyway and the dialog sits for a few seconds before it allows you to enter a new password How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lock the screen 2. hit enter Actual results: Dialog blocks for a few seconds before you can enter another password Expected results: Key events should work the same as in Xscreensaver. The first enter is ignored and just brings up the dialog if it is not showing. All other keystrokes are valid even if the dialog is hidden. An enter after any other keystroke should also be valid. Additional Info: The first space is also invalid. I still have Xscreensaver on my desktop if you want to take a look.
John, please file this upstream. That'll increase your chances of this getting fixed 500%.
