Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Since my son uses the "switch current user" feature on my locked desktop. It would be fine if the could be a password-/user check in this feature. I think about a feature where you can choose users who are allowed to open a new session if anyone locked the desktop. Regards Rafael
as-is this wish does not make sense, as it would effectively result in needing to login twice to start a new session. what _does_ make sense are login restrictions for certain users, i.e., some users are not allowed to start a new session if another x session is already running. the usability-wise improved version would show the new login right on top of the existing session and start the new x-server for the new session only upon success, but this is a bit tricky, mostly because it has some security implications.
Which security implications do you mean? I like the idea of a implented loginwindow into the screensavermodi or the general button on the desktop. Last week my little son openend four desktops with the switching feature. Since my family uses KDE as the standard Desktop it is really annoying :)
is this wish skipped for any further versions?
skipped? it takes the time it takes. (good) patches are welcome.
maybe an option to disable user switching while screen is locked?
Enabling/disabling user switching in a locked session is configurable using Kiosk or by manually adding to share/config/kdeglobals: [KDE Action Restrictions][$i] action/switch_user=false
