Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Using a Matrox G400 on Suse 8.1 in traditional (not xinerama) mode. The screensaver starts at the appropriate time and starts with the screen lock applet from either screen. BUT, moving the mouse over to screen 2 causes the desktop to appear. I can use the mouse to interact with whatever windows are on the screen, or start new applications from the menu. I cannot use the mouse, when I try to type, the screensaver password prompt appears on screen 1 and the keystrokes go into that dialog.
Sorry, the last sentence should not read "I cannot use the mouse" but should read "I cannot use the keyboard"
I can reproduce this with KDE 3.1.90. If you start kdesktop_lock on one of the heads, even though it becomes impossible to use the other head, you don't see the screensaver so your screen content is not hidden. Kinda weird... will try and investigate. Thanks.
Is this bug still there in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE4.0 RC2?
*** Bug 58033 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The screen locker architecture changed with Plasma 5. The classic screen savers are no longer supported. The 4.x series won't see any further feature development, so this bug report won't be implemented as it doesn't apply to our current version any more. I want to thank you for your bug report and for helping improving the quality of our software and I'm sorry that we were not able to provide a fix before we retired the affected component.
