I think when I logout and back in, it may work better. I put in a |
| 21 |
config file in KDE autostart and when I want to lock the screen, it |
| 22 |
triggers xscreensaver instead of the usual KDE lock screen. That's the |
| 23 |
theory anyway. I just finished my updates so I should be able to test |
| 24 |
in a bit. |

The only downside, it activates the screensaver and locks the screen |
| 27 |
when I'm watching videos right now. That may change when I logout and |
| 28 |
back in to but right now, I had to stop xscreensaver. I tend to leave |
| 29 |
the screen saver turned off anyway and just lock the screen when I want |
| 30 |
it to power off the monitor etc. |

We'll know in a bit. I'll post updates in case someone else here wants |
| 33 |
to switch or googles up this thread. |
