Password rejected due to timeout after resume

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.

I can confirm this. It seems to happen if there was some input after the screensaver was activated, but before the system suspended.

I can confirm this. I noticed that if I enter my password before network-manager renews wifi connection, everything is fine. But, if I don't enter my password that fast, in the same time when network-manager renews wifi connection (can be seen by a flash of a notification in upper right corner, even if screen is locked), I get time out.

This was the case in Dapper and is also in Edgy.

Do you guys also run network-manager?

I'm not running network-manager, since it doesn't work with ra2500 using wpa...
But that's another issue ;-)

So for me this is not the cause.

Seems like this issue has been disappeared with Edgy. At least I do not remember bumping into this any more =)
