What I don't understand is why the fallback to xlock is not unlocking.
Granted, it is easy to mess up entering your password using xlock.
Can you try from non-root account? Just open a terminal window and type
xlock. Click the mouse, and wait. You should be prompted for your
password and it should unlock the screen.

That sounds like a good explanation. I have reenabled the xlock and will
wait for the next time the problem occurs and then look in more detail on
the xscreensaver process. As soon as I have more information, I will
open a service call with Sun and try to get the newest xscreensaver
patch.
I think this list membership would appreciate you sharing your
final conclusions, so folks in future could benefit from
your experience.
Of course I will, but it might take a bit of time. We have a fairly small
installation (about 24 Sunray stations) and the problem happens only sometimes
and to some people. My guess is that it might actually be connected to the
xscreensaver settings of the user. It happened about six times during the
first three weeks of January after upgrading the server to the latest Solaris
10 release but it has not happened during the last week. So I have to wait
for the next occurence.
But even if it only happens sometimes, if it happens to somebody who was
running a long Mathematica or Matlab calculation and cannot get to their
results, people are understandably not very happy.

Matthias
