Everyone
I built a new mandrake 7.2 install and started going through updates (using
mandrakeUpdate) until
I broke the Lockscreen.
The package that breaks it is the KDEBASE package.
If I am right everyone that has updated their kdebase package should have the
lockscreen broken.
To test, login as a user, lock the screen and press enter.
It should let you in with no password/ any password.
Thanks
