Public bug reported:

Occasionally the dialogue to type in the password does not appear. I can
only see the wallpaper.

Workarounds:

1. switching between ttys back and forth until dialogue appears. I
noticed, loging in to one of the ttys increases the change that the
dialogue will appear when jumping back to tty7.

2. switch to a tty, login, and 'killall gnome-screensaver'


Sometimes - if I don't log out - it works perfectly for several days and dozens 
of locks/unlocks in a row. I do not have this issue on any other graphics card 
(e.g. Intel SandyBridge). How can I track down what is causing this issue? 


System: Precise 64bit 

lspci: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
