Hi,

I'm desperately trying to make the "Switch user" button disappear from the password dialog that displays when someone move the mouse on a locked session. I finally looked into the code and I think I found where the problem lies in lockdlg.cc

Here's a patch that I think will make kdesktop_lock honour kiosk switch_user restriction. I wasn't able to test it but the patch is so tiny, I just hope I made no mistake :)
