Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux I would like to see the functionality provided by KBlueLock in kbluetooth implemented in bluedevil please. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with this, KBlueLock locks the screen when a device paired with the PC in kbluetooth is moved out of range and unlocks the screen when the device reappears. This is useful for those working in a shared environment who frequently need to leave their PC unattended for short periods of time and wish to avoid the hassle of manually locking the screen on each occasion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: N/A Reading some of the bugs/wishes for kbluetooth, a user requested that if the PC had a removable bluetooth adaptor and the adaptor was removed whilst the screen was locked, the screen should stay locked until the user's password is entered. I would also imagine that users should be able to unlock the screen with their password in case the paired device is unavailable. If it is decided to implement this feature, I think that bluedevil would then be a complete replacement for kbluetooth. Great work getting this far, folks.
I also agree this would be a very useful feature.
I recently read a nice article about how to implement this on Mac OS in c‘t magazine and now I defenitly want this for KDE :P

Is there any progress in bluetooth desktop locking for KDE 4.x? At now I use Gnome Blueproximity app that works normally, but it can unlock screen only with ugly hack command "qdbus | grep kscreenlocker_greet | xargs -I {} qdbus {} /MainApplication quit". Will be good that KDE SC have integrated app for bluetooth locking/unlocking, can you provide any plans or roadmap for this feature?
And maybe better to move this issue from Product solid to kbluetooth https://bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=kbluetooth ?
KBluetooth is unmaintaied, BlueDevil is a part of Solid, so the assignee is correct.
