after resume usb mouse will allow input before unlocking screensaver

[Elliott Martin]

When I restore my pc from suspend to disk and I'm using a USB mouse, I am able 
to type and interact with my programs before being prompted for a password. I 
normally have a root shell sitting open and I was able to run a couple of 
caommands before the screensaver popped up for a password asking me to unlock 
my KDE session. If I resume with just my laptops touchpad going I get asked 
for a password before I can doing anything else, so I think this might be a 
problem with acpi, but I'm using suse linux so it could be a problem with 
suseplugger.

The problem is that suspend does not wait for the screensaver to be active,
so there is a race condition between the screensaver and suspend. I have no
idea how to fix it, but as a temporary workaround making this *less* likely
change POWERSAVE_SCREENSAVER_SIMPLE in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common to
POWERSAVE_SCREENSAVER_SIMPLE="yes"

There are efforts to encrypt the swap partion, but this is future.
