It happens to me too: if I go out of the workstation for a while - and
the screen saver activates, which is also a blank black screen -, when I
get back and touch the mouse sometimes the screen shows up as if no
screen saver has been activated, that is, it shows what was shown before
the screen saver activated, all the application windows, the mouse moves
but the keys doesn't seem to work.

The only way around I could find was to ctrl-alt-f1, to switch to a text
mode linux, and ctrl-alt-f7 to come back to the graphic mode, and then
it's easy to understand what was happening: it shows the (un)lock screen
with a few keys already entered in the password field.

So, to me, what's happening is that, on cancelling the screen saver and
putting up the (un)lock screen, which probably is an overlay of some
kind, something is failing badly and the overlay doesn't show up.
