Wonder if anyone can give me some advice here -
I've got linux mint 13 cinnamon installed, with multiple monitors, using the open source nvidia driver (the proprietary drivers caused some issues, so i just left them off )
if I lock the screen, and come back later, when i wake up the machine it will display a blank screen on one monitor, and a grey screen on the other, but no password box. if I type the password in, it unlocks the machine.
This doesn't happen every time, sometimes i get the password box showing up OK. This was also happening on Ubuntu, so I guess this is a common problem to the gnome-screensaver package, and not something mint-specific. I found an old ubuntu bug which seems to relate, but this is marked as resolved. When I had this issue on ubuntu it was slightly different - sometimes it wouldn't unlock the screen at all, whereas on mint it seems to unlock no problem.

Any ideas on how to get the login box to display correctly every time? Is anyone else having this problem?
