[Bug 76632] screen does not unlock after locking

[Brendan Martens]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

If I lock my screen, then try to unlock it, the dialog hangs at
"checking password". I honestly have not waited around long enough to
see if it will eventually unlock. I have waited a few minutes, nothing
happens, just hangs, with the password filed grayed out, like it should
normally, and "checking password", but it never unlocks as far as I can
tell.

This is different from any bugs I have found. The dialog appears
normally, and accepts my typing into the box, however as explained, it
inexplicably freezes. I have to kill the session and re-log.

I'd be happy to help figure this out, I just don't know how to proceed
to get more useful information.
