This is outside the scope of kscreenlocker and in general of a desktop environment. Because I'd like to have this fixed, some day (not never), where can I forward this? Personally I think this is the job of whatever application runs on the virtual terminal. It needs something like a lock screen. So that once you switch away from the vt, it automatically locks the vt. Hms, that's interesting re-definition of the problem :). Thanks. Is there a portable (across environments) way to lock the screen so I can file a bug against the app in question? Sorry I don't know. |
.. and throw an ugly warning instead! It happens from time to time that user has to switch to native console (CTRL-ALT-F{2..6}) to fix/kill something. Any such login shell (not explicitly logged-out) might there survive for ages and become to be an open door for attacks. Or please provide this function at least as an optional feature.
