           Summary: Blank Lock Screen Dialog Box
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jausura at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Starting with KDE 4.4 Beta 2 and continuing through to KDE 4.4 RC2, I only get
a blank grey rectangle where the unlock dialog should be, when the screen is
locked. This problem occurs whether I lock the screen manually or wait for it
to lock with the screen saver. I have tried using different screen-savers
including the blank one. Interestingly enough, because the cursor normally
appears in the password dialog upon moving the mouse, I can still input my
password and unlock the session. I just wait for the grey rectangle to appear,
type my password, press enter and hope for the best. If that doesn't work, then
Ctrl+alt+backspace gets used. Also, I can change the tone of the blank
rectangle when I change the systems color scheme. 
I can confirm this problem on two separate Fedora 12 installs. My Xeon based
work computer has this problem, as does my Duo Core Quad based machine at home.
Both have Nvidia cards: A Quadro FX 4600 and a 8500 GT respectively. The
commonality between the two is that they are both running the proprietary
Nvidia drivers and the problem started when I upgraded both machines to KDE
4.3.85 through the kde-redhat rpm repositories. The problem has continued
through 4.4 RC2.
