IMHO, this solution works but it is somewhat ugly. I cannot believe there is no cleaner way to do this. There must be a configuration file somewhere though I have not found it yet. Under Linux almost everything is configurable. I cannot believe it is the first time since KDE 3 is out someone need this type of customization. And if an update brings back the screen lock executable, the problem will surface again... On my side I will continue to search for a clean way to do this. If/when I find it I will share with you all for sure. midi-pascal
