Public bug reported:
I went to the vet with cat #2, while cat #1 was at home. Being a
responsible user, I locked my screen with Ctrl-Alt-L before leaving.
When I returned from the vet, cat #1 was sitting on the keyboard of my
Thinkpad x201, and the keyboard buffer of the screensaver's password
entry field was full.
Even after removing the cat, the password entry field was unresponsive.
It was impossible to delete the garbage characters entered by cat #1,
even trying to get the focus to that dialog using the mouse was
unsuccessful. My only option was to go to a text console using Ctrl-
Alt-F1 and reboot (I know, I could have killed the screensaver, but for
ordinary users this is probably too complex.)
I consider that a bug in unity or the screensaver. Curious cats should
not kill the trusty tahr or its screensaver.
