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.
