I use i3lock which is like Xscreensaver but much much simpler; it plays no movies or games, just blanks the screen with a configured color or image. To unlock it you have to type your password. It bothers me that even when i3lock has locked the X session, I can still switch to other Linux virtual consoles with Alt-Control-F , without typing the password. It so happens that on one of the other virtual consoles there is often an interactive root shell :-P So, is it possible to prevent virtual console switching while the X screen is locked, but still allow it at other times? Looks like something the locker program would have to do, not the X server; but again I don't know much about this stuff. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
