To get it to work like 4.4 did, I set the contents like this: [ScreenSaver] ActionBottomLeft=0 ActionBottomRight=0 ActionTopLeft=0 ActionTopRight=1 #manually set this (old "advanced" setting) Enabled=true Lock=true LockGrace=3600000 #wanted 1hr (3600s), max is 5min (300s) but OK PlasmaEnabled=false Saver=KSlideshow.desktop Timeout=2400 In addition, I got set all "screen edge" lock actions to "no action". Ctrl-alt-l still locks screen and needs p/w to return. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
