session auto-locks - unable to unlock
Hello bert and sajolida,
Thanks for your messages! With regard to your questions:
> Did you try several times and could never unlock the screen using your

The Administrator password that had been set, was used in the same session to mount a virtio filesystem (9p). I had rebooted my machine, and ran into the same issue again in that session.
> May you send us a Whisperback report next time you stumble on that issue please? I would have :-) However, because I was unable to get back into the session, I could not run Whisperback.

So, perhaps I might have run into a general GNOME desktop lockdown or input handling issue. One thing that struck me as odd, was that I was not always able to input the Administrator password, but only able to append in the text box. The right mouse click, "Show Text" feature did work, however.
If I run into the issue again, I'd be glad to provide as much meaningful details as possible - and try to reproduce it further in a regular Debian testing GNOME3 install. In case I don't run into the issue again, I may have inadvertently wasted your time - in which case I apologise.
