Bug Description
Binary package hint: xscreensaver
I'm not sure if this is an xscreensaver issue or a greater authentication issue.. but it seems like after a week of uptime or a full weekend of having the desktop locked.. when I come back into work xscreensaver will no longer unlock with my password. It acts as though I have entered it wrong. However, if I do 'switch user' and log in as myself it works fine. I've had this happen to me every Monday for the last few weeks. This persists until I reboot.
