screen locked after password entered

[Ken Foskey]

Binary package hint: rss-glx

I returned to my computer and entered my password, screen totally locked with colours on screen from screen saver.

Entering computer by ssh I had to 'kill -9 2374' 2374 was 'drempels -r'. Once this was killed my screen returned to normal and I am entering my bug from the same system.

Nothing in the xsession-errors relevant. There is an erl_crash.dump, if this is somehow related (I did kill two programs as I was guessing the screen saver) then please email and I will upload.
