The following log is from:
1) lock screen
2) When password prompt appears, switch keyboard layout to correct
layout for entering password, enter password (fails)
3) Switch back to original layout and try again (fails)
4) kill via tty (where same password is used to login)

It seems that it really is getting an incorrect password - one
possibility that could make sense would be if the keyboard layout was
being applied incorrectly. Let me know if there's anything else I can
do.

Title:
  Not possible to enter correct password after screen lock

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  STR:
   1) Lock the screen
   2) Move mouse to force password dialog to appear
   3) Set correct keyboard layout and enter password
   4) Returned to desktop

  AR:
   At step 3, no matter which keyboard layout I set (I have US and US-dvorak and toggle with double-shift) the password which I enter is never accepted. I am forced to switch to a tty, login there (with the same password) and `pkill -f gnome-screensaver` to get back to my desktop.

  Note: I use multiple layouts on another oneiric laptop and do not see
  this issue.
