I had a look at the code. The problem is in kdesktop_lock. It does a DCOP call to ksmserver's logout() function like this (using commandline DCOP syntax for demonstration): dcop ksmserver ksmsever logout 0 2 0 where "2" unfortunately means "halt" :( In case you have the option of patching kdesktop_lock the code is in kdebase/kdesktop/lock/autologout.cc method logout. I'll check if there is a bug report for this and add one if there isn't Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer <kevin.krammer@xxxxxx> Qt/KDE Developer, Debian User Moderator: www.mrunix.de (German), www.qtforum.org
