Bug Description
I have set the password protection on from the screensaver options. This causes the screen to lock when suspending or hibernating the machine.
When the machine is powered on again, I am greeted with the lock screen which asks for my password. If I start to type my password I get the time out -message and the password is rejected.
Seems like the timing starts from the moment the machine starts entering power-saving mode. Could it be changed so it starts when it has resumed?

Related to this, sometimes after the authentication is done and I should get my desktop back I am instead greeted with the window that pops up when you press the power button.
If I press the Cancel button, it gives me my session back. That is just another step I wouldn't bother taking.
