What is perhaps an invalid implementation however is not being able to use CTRL+ALT+L to lock by default. I've not looked into this yet myself (a relatively new openSUSE 13.1 user) but I can confirm it is the default behavior of other distributions to have this shortcut start the locking
With GNOME 3.10, the standard shortcut for locking in GNOME was changed to Super+L from CTRL+ALT+L Ah ok. Kinda makes more sense, less keyboard work.
In earlier versions of GNOME, we used CTRL+ALT+L Old habits die hard :)
I'm not sure 'why' it got changed, I don't believe it was a conscious decision by the openSUSE GNOME team, we just kept along with upstreams decision :) Why not? Less maintenance ^^
I'm sure we could package CTRL+ALT+L as the default in our GNOME if people really wanted it, but having it as Super+L does make it easier for newcomers who are used to Windows..
Perhaps, but I guess that now turns a dual-bug-report into one wishlist item. Perhaps Super+L is more natural, as a user of windows is used to "Win+R", etc, already.
