It didn't work for me after install F15. But I did a clean install and
have been figuring I must have missed installing some package.
Right after I sent the above note I suddenly found that I could lock my screen normally,
both with the Leave | Lock menu item and with inactivity timeouts. It stayed like that
until I logged out again, now that I logged back in I can only lock the screen using the
commandline: /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock
I have no idea why it stared working, nor why it stopped working. I thought at first it
started working because I used the command line to lock, as it appeared to after I
discovered that method that id worked again. But that is not the case. I've used the
command line method a couple of times to day, and that is still the only way to lock the
screen.
On my laptop where I did a successful upgrade via DVD it all works as expected. I tried a
DVD upgrade on my workstation (this machine where it doesn't work) and it wouldn't
restart after reboot, so I did a fresh install, copying my ~/.kde directory form the old
system.
BTW, when I user the command line to lock my screen I see the following in the console
when I return:
[emmett@ws1 ~]$ /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Resource id: 0x640001e
I suppose it is time to do a bug report.
