What were you trying to do?
	I tried to enter my password into the screensaver on an SGI, but could
not get back in.  I also could not force myself to log out on the SGi because
the Ctrl-L key command failed to work

What's wrong:
the screensaver is supposed to allow me to get back in if I put in my password

What should have happened:
I should have been able to log out or get back to what I was using before I
went away from the computer

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
this worked fine on the Sun I am using right now, so it is an SGI problem
