Hello everyone

Just a little wierd quirk I have ran into with a few themes (dont remember which ones but Simplicity did it)

when I lock my xp workstation and unlock it again, Litestep seems to lock up, and i have to recycle for it to become usable again

anyone have this problem?

no big problem just annoying :)

There were a few bugreports about this, so i guess it counts as a known issue. Any chance you can narrow it down to certain themes (or possibly even certain modules)?

well, I went out for a smoke break and came back and it was fine! it seems to only do it if you quickly lock your workstation then unlock

interesting

so... I leave it locked for a while and come back and the theme locked up again. Evidently its not the duration of the locked workstation after all.

this is so wierd!

or maybe it could just be the theme!?

Actually I have strange lock-up problems. LS eventually gets out of it but it takes a short bit. All of my problems come when LS Beta 1 either when my screensaver shuts off and my mouse is in a section covered by the theme, or when I use ckvwm to change desktops.
