Fair enough.  I'm not sure if you actually tried compiling HEAD with your
patch applied, but with an added "#include <stdlib.h>" for putenv() in
lock/main.cc it does.  It then also seems to work as intended, at least I
can kill kdesktop and the screenlock stays.  So, commit it, CVS anyway is
broken atm. so it does no harm.


Ciao,
Michael.
