It is no possible for me to lock my screen except using the following command: /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock.
Selecting the Lock item from the "Leave" menu, or setting the display screen to time out and lock does not lock the screen.
Anybody else seeing this?
This all work in Fedora 14, and I believe it also worked when I first installed Fedora 15. I have a laptop that works perfectly and it was an upgrade via DVD, whereas the unlockable machine was a fresh install, then copied the .kde directory to the new partition.

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.
