SUSE 10.3 KDE 3.5.7 new system install.
I have been looking for the place to disable the kde screen lock. I know there was a mailing list item in the past but I must not be using the right search parameters. I found one setting under powersaver but it does not disable it.
can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
I can think of two ways to do it - one is via the control center, which might not be what you want, I thought it was in the control center but the only control I have found is

I have two system, both have openSUSE 10.3, KDE 3.5.7 release 72.6, I remember setting a checkbox on the older system and it does not have the screen lock problem. Both systems look the same in the control center. Thanks for the quick response I'll continue to look.
The other way I can think of is you could write a little script:
#!/bin/bashy ARGS=`echo $@ | sed -re 's/--forcelock//g'` /path/to/renamed/kdesktop_lock --dontlock ${ARGS}y
You'd then install this script in place of the original binary, which you would rename as something else.
Wouldn't stop your users from finding the renamed binary and running it directly, but it would effectively strip out the argument that locks the desktop, and put in one that prevents it from locking.
