Guys, I work in a college enviroment where students occasionaly enter my room when im not in to see other staff. This means i need to be able to properly lock my machine using the "lock the desktop" icon to stop others using it. But on the new suse 8.1, it has a button "start new session", which if a student pressed would allow them to re-logon using their passwords. This would log me out, which is annoying rather than destructive. While i would easily be able to discover who did this, id rather just not have that button. is there an easy way of disabling it? cheers, Elf.

Good practice.

No, you're not loged out. As the button says, a NEW session is started, the old one is not destroyed. A new X-session is started (on ALT-F8) and your session is still running under ALT-F7. If the 'intruder' logs out, the screen returns to your session.

It's a feature, not a bug <grin>.
cheers, Elf.
Regards, Cees.
