Screen saver locks the system

I'm having a problem with KDE 3.3.1 on Solaris 9 where the screen saver completely locks the system up. The only way out is to reboot. I had the problem w/ 3.4.2, but 3.2.2 worked fine. We reverted back to 3.3.1 so we could match w/ RH 4.0 (our home directories are shared across the network).
After invoking the screen saver (manually or by timeout), the prompt comes up asking for the password. I enter it and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Note that this is a version I built myself from the sources (the version provided by Stefan Telman installs into '/opt' and I need it to go to '/usr/local')

An alternative is that I can get xlock to work fine, but I have to manually invoke it. Can I somehow use xlock within the KDE screen saver system?

Thanks

It could be that your user password and 'su' or root passwords are not the same. Have you tried either one of those?
In retrospect, everything is funny.
