Lock screen broken on Hardy current

[Erik Andrén]

Starting with the hardy current upgrades from today (2008-01-31) the lock screen is broken, instead of displaying the normal grey box.
When activated, a black screen is displayed and only the mouse pointer is visible, which can be seen if moved outside this box (that now is invisible).
Entering the password blindly doesn't help and it's impossible to login, only a reboot or a forced xserver restart is necessary to regain normal operations.

Just found the following information in my kernel log and it might have something to do with this error:

This is now resolved with a new batch of updates.
