Two people have reported exactly the same problem with the screensaver
to me in the last two days, from two different (vax) workstations,
running uwm.
The keyboard has no effect no matter how long they wait. Pressing a
mouse button causes the password prompt to come up immediately, but
then typing their password has no effect; it appears as if the key
events are going to /dev/null. Eventually, something times out and
the floating icon starts up again.
The first time I thought the keyboard had just died, but it seems
unlikely that it happened twice in a row. My next guess is that
keyboard focus isn't getting set correctly, but they were both using
uwm.
