I found a guide, it's in the man page to, here: |

I scrolled down to the KDE bits and at points it got interesting because |
| 23 |
KDE moves files around. Anyway, he pointed to files that are installed |
| 24 |
by emerge which gets changed on update. He even admitted it would. So, |
| 25 |
I found the file in /home/dale/.config/kscreenlockerrc and I copied the |
| 26 |
original file in case I need to go back. That shouldn't be affected by |
| 27 |
updates. |

Everything else was fine in the instructions. I'm in the middle of |
| 30 |
stuff right now so I'll test it out later. I'll also need to research |
| 31 |
that keyboard shortcut. I remember seeing it in system settings |
| 32 |
somewhere. I think I changed a couple ages ago and it was pretty |
| 33 |
straight foreword. |

Thanks for the info. |
