Right after I sent the above note I suddenly found that I could lock my screen normally, both with the Leave | Lock menu item and with inactivity timeouts.  It stayed like that until I logged out again, now that I logged back in I can only lock the screen using the commandline: /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock

I have no idea why it stared working, nor why it stopped working.  I thought at first it started working because I used the command line to lock, as it appeared to after I discovered that method that id worked again.  But that is not the case.  I've used the command line method a couple of times to day, and that is still the only way to lock the screen.

On my laptop where I did a successful upgrade via DVD it all works as expected.  I tried a DVD upgrade on my workstation (this machine where it doesn't work) and it wouldn't restart after reboot, so I did a fresh install, copying my ~/.kde directory form the old system.

BTW, when I user the command line to lock my screen I see the following in the console when I return:

[emmett@ws1 ~]$ /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
  Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Resource id:  0x640001e

I suppose it is time to do a bug report.
