Package: klock
Version: CVS snapshot 990409
OS: Redhat 5.1

klock will still lock the screen when the XGrabMouse and XGrabKeyboard
calls fail.

This of course means that you can still Alt-Tab between windows
therefore bringing them to the front and interacting with them.

Some sort of check should be added to see if Grabs were successful - if
they were not perhaps it could be tryed again and maybe eventually some
sort of dialog box warning could be posted.

A simple test for this is to pull down a menu and leave it posted, and
wait for klock to kick in.

Hope this helps,

Ian Gordon.
