Public bug reported: When the screen is locked, you can freeze the screensaver application by holding escape and scrolling up to activate the unlock screen with the mouse. 'authentication error' pops up and the password input {widget?} is non-responsive.
this isn't likely to pose a problem, but I will poke at it a bit and if I see an issue with commands running with the user's privilege I will let you know.
