Bug Description
I started installation of new software (Sound Juicer). I went away from my computer (before the screen asking for PW to install new software appeared) for more than 30 minutes, and the computer suspended.
I touched the keyboard to bring it out of suspend.
It went into a strange state. The password dialog was visble. When I entered my password, it brought up the task bar, but no windows. I could click on tasks, see the names of windows if there were multiple ones open (like OpenOffice), close tasks, and start them,but nothing would show a window.
I tried cancel, relogging in as myself, was finally forced to reboot.
