thank you for your reply Noop.
if that screensaver solved the thing would they include the patch in the
updates? and how long do you think it would take?

and untill then, i think i don't get this problem, if i 'lock the
screen' and switch user and get into user 2. and log out back to user 1.
this way i don't get this problem.

thank you very much for your reply.
