Just posting this as a potential workaround in case other users
experiencing the same issue find this bug.  When I was using Simple
Locker or Screen Saver after the upgrade (from 12.10) I got no unlock
dialogue, and thus no way to unlock the screen.  However, after some
experimentation, I found that the "Desktop Widgets" option did work, and
allowed me to lock and unlock.  To enable the Desktop Widgets option, go
to System Settings > Display and Monitor (under Hardware) > Screen
Locker, and select the Desktop Widgets option.

To try to get the other options working, I uninstalled xscreensaver and
gnome-screensaver, to no effect.  I then uninstalled kscreensaver and
kscreensaver-xsavers, and now everything seems to be working correctly.
So there *may* be an issue with one of those two packages and the new
KDE.

So to anyone experiencing this issue, I'd recommend either trying
Desktop Widgets for your screenlocker, or removing xscreensaver, gnome-
screensaver, kscreensaver and kscreensaver-xsavers.  It may be just the
latter two, or perhaps one of them; I didn't test extensively, just
thought I'd share what I did to get it working.
