Bug Description

the lock session bug i found was iceauthority which causes correct lock screen password to be denied so you can't log on

login fine with kde login manager or command prompt no gui fine
lock the screen in either kde or gnome and put your password in and it's denied but you can control-alt-backspace and login fine
I also have a weird xkb situation where I can select keyboard in kde but gnome complains.
xorg config is set correctly at a 105 key gb keyboard

the lock session bug i found was iceauthority in home folder-I renamed mine restarted the computer and a new one was created I now can lock screen and unlock

I can't take a screenshot as the screen locks normally and a screen
saver appears-when you type the correct password it flashes up denied in
red. so accessing the current session is impossible.
control-alt-backspace returns to login manager where password is
accepted normally.
