Description of problem: Kdesktop_lock does not run on multiuser systems. If one user has a kdesktop_lock.bin running, it won't start for another user! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 4.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select "Lock session" in KDE menu, or run kdesktop_lock. Actual results: Does not start Expected results: Starts Additional info: How to fix it: kdesktop_lock.bin is started by a script /usr/bin/kdesktop_lock (in RHEL 4.7 - this was not so in earlier versions). The first line in the script begins with: LIST=`ps ax --format "%p:%a" .... Change this to: LIST=`ps x --format "%p:%a" .... I don't know why it would want to check for kdesktop_lock run by other users. It really does not work that way.
