I'm now seeing this, too, with F29, kernel 4.19.7, on KDE. I'm pretty sure doing this has worked as expected after the upgrade to F29, so it's a recent change, but I don't know exactly when it started. I'm seeing this with two different machines (a desktop and a laptop). This is emacs-26.1.6.f29.x86_64, in case that matters, and, at the moment, plasma-workspace-5.14.4-1.fc29.x86_64 which was upgraded to on December 5. It doesn't actually lock the system. I can, for instance get to a virtual terminal and kill the startkde process to get back to roughly where I was. And I can still see the cursor and move it around (though it becomes invisible when it's over the konsole window from which I launched emacs), but except for being able to use, e.g., control-F3, to get to a console, I don't seem to be able to interact with the open windows or switch to another virtual desktop (cursor won't cross the desktop boundary). The command "emacs -nw" seems to work fine. George
