Will try it but seems just happens under Gnome-Shell.
That's a bit of information which clearly make a difference. Can't help, went to
XFCE back in fc16, there was no user demand for GNOME3, the greatest enthusiasm
encountered was at the "I can live with it" level, users figured out XFCE with
essentially no help, now that MATE is looking pretty solid, we have that around
as well.

I think I figured the screen-lock out quite by accident: perhaps the
solution that you are looking for is "space-bar then the Enter key"
hope this helps,
Richard
Thank you, I added it to my "tricks I hope I never need" folder, useful if the
problem shows up.

I've seen similar behaviour in a few situations: when the load on the
box is extremely high it may take minutes (or tens of minutes if
severely stressed) for the authentication to complete. I've seen this
with runaway browsers and other processes chewing memory and CPU time.
Typically in this case the password dialog is also slow to appear and
the cursor may be laggy and unresponsive.
The other one that comes to mind is a problem with authentication itself
- if using network auth then a problem with the network or backend
service may cause unlock delays. This should be less of a problem with
local authentication.
Finally, you might have a deadlock or task blocked on IO - for e.g. a
kernel or driver bug or some storage device. I've seen this with file
system bugs for e.g. when some IO never completes.
Depending on where things are stuck you may be able to switch to a
virtual terminal, log in, and debug from there.
Regards,
Bryn.
