I have the same problem. It happens randomly. My environment when the problem appears: * 2 screens, the problem normally affects both monitors, but sometimes the input box for the password appears on one of the monitors... it is random. * 1 session (I only have one user) * normally I have a rdesktop session opened when the problem happends.
