is there a way to disable kscreenlock?

[stephan beal]

Hiya!

i've got a Suse 10.1 PC here on which my girlfriend and i are both
continuously logged in to KDE. When switching between sessions, the KDE
screen locker is almost always active (but not always - it is very
inconsistent), and it is frustrating to have to enter my password 20
times per day.

Is there a way to completely disable the screen locker?

Many thanks in advance for any tips...

I do not know about when switching sessions. But I saw that 10.1 would
do a screen lock for a screen saver even though I had not asked for it
and it did not show as the screen saver in the desktop config. However,
when I simply saved the screen saver config again, the lock went away.
This probably does not apply to session switching.

It does that, too, but inconsistently. Sometimes it will kick in after
10 minutes, sometimes after 2 hours, sometimes never. There appears to
be no rhyme nor reason to its logic.

i'll try that - i haven't jacked with the screen saver config except to
look for a way to turn off the locker.

Probably not, but that might fix half of the problem. Thanks :)
