Nathaniel, Thank you for your unerstanding !! As you mentioned, KDE is note quite Gnome. I can assign a shortcut to "lock screen", but as - I believe - Gnome is calling xscreensaver for that, I'm back to my original problem: xscreensaver does not run as root Anyhow, KDE allows indeed root to lock the session properly, so that I believe I will have to switch over to KDE Thanks again -- Patrick Derwael T: 0479/80.50.79 Web and Co sprl http://www.webandco.be -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
