Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1) Leave system idle until screen locks and monitor goes dark
2) Wiggle the mouse to wake up the monitor
3) Enter password to unlock the screen

Automatically locks the screen again within 5 to 15 seconds and monitor goes dark.

Unlocking the screen a second time works fine, and the spontaneous screen lock doesn't happen as long as I'm actively using the system.

But if I let it go idle again and the screen locks, then the first unlock attempt only lasts a few seconds before having to re-enter the password.
