2) always require password when locked This, also, is the default: lock the screen and you have to enter your password to "un-blank" it. I'll have to double check that - I'm sure it was not default (in KDE) when I wrote that FATE entry.
Lock the screen; hit any key or move the mouse and enter your password at the menu - and your desktop is once again displayed.
Been like this for years as far as I am concerned.
I HATE the screensaver - it is a PITA. It belongs to the dark ages, and if I cannot disable it I would then be forced to switch over to Windows. In the business/corporate environment, in particular where personal or otherwise confidential data is being processed, it's an absolute must.
Again how so? The screen saver activates after a certain set period.
Yes, but the user has the option to disable it. Also, in my experience, the box "Password required" is not ticked by default, but that could have changed.
I have just created a new user on a 12.1 desktop system. The screen- saver is active by default, but can be disabled by the user. Also, the "require password" box is not ticked. Configure Desktop -> Display and monitor -> Screensaver If the user locks the screen, a password is required to unlock (by default), so there _is_ a difference between "lock" and "activate screen-saver". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
