Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

On some machines I have 10.40 installed on gnome-screensaver does not
unlock screen with the correct password. With switch user I can go to
login screen and use that very same password to go back to the Gnome
session.

I can reproduce this, every time I hit Control+Alt+L screen locks, and
password does not unlock it. Workaround is to switch user and login back
to the account with the locked session.
