Things can be kind of weird here in power pc land. yes - you can using xscreensaver-command to lock it even if the preferences are set otherwise. I'm going to say it's pure bug. If I disable locking in xscreensaver, then, damnit, it shouldn't lock ! Any ideas on what package deserves the bug-report ? I know that if I let the screen saver kick in, it does _not_ lock the screen, as per the setting, so my thinking is that it's a switch user bug. Maybe I should just drop back to startx in two different VT's. switch user is a lot slower than Alt-F8 !
