Bug#618313: The unlock dialogue uses a different keyboard layout

Package: gnome-screensaver
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

This causes the unlock to fail if the users password contains a
character,
which differs in the other keyboard layout.
Workaround: if your password is for example "GoldenBoy" and you are
using a
german layout, you can unlock taping "GolenBoz"
