When locking screen and kdm package is missing the input events (mouse click, keyboard) are disabled and there is no way to recover from that except of killing X.

I tried to install kscreensaver, kdepassword without kdm and still same behaviour.

I start kde using startx without any display manager.

Any hints?

I Had the same problem, don't know exactly how to reproduce it yet.

It happened after I enabled both my internal and discrete GPU (Lenovo W530 with optimus) on a two screen setup (only way to have a tri-head setup with optimus enabled) and my screen locked automaticly.

When I typed no nothing seemed to happen, but when I pressed caps-lock I did get a notification.

I have this problem after upgrading from kde 4.9.5 to kde 4.10.1.

Is this bug #463176 ?

No. I am experiencing that one as well... on unlock focus is not returned to the last focused window.

But without kdm, even the password prompt is not appearing and input is disabled.
