Best way I have found to switch back to your user it to use the "Switch
User" button in gnome-screensaver, and use GDM to get back in.

If you prefer terminal, "killall gnome-screensaver" is much faster than
finding the PID of the process and killing that.

I just got fed up enough to quit using it altogether, I log out now
instead.

Title:
  Screen doesn't unlock; stuck on "Checking"

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  When I lock the screen either by using the screensaver, locking
  manually, or returning from a hibernate, when the authentication
  dialog comes up, it doesn't unlock the screen when I enter my
  password. Instead, it just hangs on "Checking..." forever until I
  manually kill gnome-screensaver.

  This is on a Lenovo Ideapad, with Ubuntu 10.10 i386. None of the
  issues listed here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingScreenLocking)
  apply to me.
