Hi, I noticed that it is possible to restart a X session (then all X dependant programmes are closed...) just by pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE even if the session is locked (password required). I tried to the same with CTRL+ALT+DEL, by chance, my computer didn't restart :-) I think that useless keys (I mean for a password) as ALT, CTRL, should be deactivated when session is locked. Another solution is to disable the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE "magic key" when session is locked. Well, if X crashes while the session's locked, we won't be able to restart it, but... What do you think about that ? Regards, Vincent Bolinard. P.S.: I'm running 2007.0 Official for amd64, KDE, up-to-date. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
