Thank you for your help. As you asked I just tried it again and had a
look into the mentioned log files. Because they are too long for
inline display (it would destroy the whole thread), I attached them
as .txt files to this email.


This appears to be the problem:

From the 'messages' logs:
Feb 17 04:15:19 vm-tesla-1-lan hdloginGUI: login account failure: Module is 
unknown

From the 'secure' log:
Feb 17 04:14:58 vm-tesla-1-lan hdloginGUI: PAM unable to 
dlopen(/lib/security/pam_winbind.so)
Feb 17 04:14:58 vm-tesla-1-lan hdloginGUI: PAM [error: 
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory]
Feb 17 04:14:58 vm-tesla-1-lan hdloginGUI: PAM adding faulty module: 
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so

So there is a problem loading the pam_winbind modules. I don't know why that isn't a problem in gnome-screensaver. You you try 'ldd -r /lib/security/pam_winbind.so' to check, if it is missing dependencies that may be accidentally satisfied in the gnome-screensaver context).

Some more comments on this:

As far as I understand it, pulling the card and pushing it in again
has also something to do with utaction, right? And what if I could
configure utaction for all users to use the gnome screensaver unlock
(if there is such a feature of gnome-screensaver)?


That isn't something you can configure using utaction. If 'RHA' (which shows the Sun Ray loginGUI) is disabled, utaction is already used under the hood to trigger gnome-screensaver.

You can use the -D option to utpolicy to turn off 'RHA'. Please note that there are some security issues with that: - Less reliable: Under some circumstances, gnome-screensaver is unable to lock the screen, so the session will be unprotected. (For example if a menu is open.) - With gnome-screensaver locking, anyone can kill your locked session without authenticating (by pressing Alt+Ctrl+Bksp-Bksp). - Without 'RHA', sessions are significantly more vulnerable to 'stealing' by use of a spoofed token.
