Dear Maintainer,

After I updated to KDE Plasma 6, kscreenlocker sometimes breaks and just
displays a black screen instead of the usual lockscreen.
The screen is not off though, the LCD backlight is still on. Also, if you try
to unlock by typing your password as if the lockscreen did work, it unlocks and
displays your session normally (provided you typed it in correctly, since you
have to do it blind).

A workaround I found is to switch to another tty and then switch back, after
which the lockscreen displays normally.
