           Summary: random screen locking with start of screensaver
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: amitavmohanty01 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I experience random screen locks. There is no pattern or predictability about
them except one common thing: if in a session I am having random screen locks,
restarting the session is no good; but restarting my system helps. The
frequency of occurrence is about once in 20 sessions.

Whenever my screen is locked randomly, the screensaver comes up and I have to
enter my password too. So, I checked the screensaver settings in "Configure
Desktop" > Desktop > Screen Saver. The "Require password to stop" option was
checked ad grayed out. So, I checked the "Start automatically" option,
unchecked the "Require password" and unchecked the "Require password to stop"
option and unchecked the "Start automatically" option as well. Yet it did not
work.

Then I tried stopping PowerDevil service in Service manager. The screen has not
locked since then.

This behaviour does not happen in every session; but the occurrence is random
and any session can have it.
