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