Problem:

The screen lock facility will crash if 'cancel' is chosen during the password prompt, so long as one has Anthy selelected as the input method for Scim. When the program crashes, the user is returned to the desktop screen and has in turn succeeded in bypassing the screen lock without knowledge of the password. This could be a potential security issue for systems running Scim.

Steps to reproduce:

Set Scim's input method to 'Anthy,' then either wait for the password protected screensaver to start or lock the screen manually. Now click on the 'cancel' button when the password prompt appears and this should reproduce the crash.

Now, set Scim's input method to 'English/European' and then lock the screen. You should find that clicking cancel removes the password prompt and doesn't crash kdesktop_lock.

No else managed to reproduce this one? I'd imagine that it was a pretty crucial one.

This problem also occurs when Anthy is set to Latin mode.

Should be fixed in Kubuntu Intrepid.

Is it at all possible for this fix to be put in the hardy-backports?
