What were you trying to do?
unlock my screen
What went wrong?
xss wouldn't see any of my keystrokes. Apparently this is
because I'd locked the screen after selecting the "secure
screen" option in the control-left-mouse menu in an xterm.
That xterm was getting all of my keystrokes.
What should have happened?
xss shouldn't have let me lock the screen with a secured xterm.
(I beleive the SIPB xscreensaver has code to deal with this.)
