What version of control-center do you have installed?

Comment 2 Joachim Backes 2002-07-11 01:40:37 EDT

control-center-2.0.0-2

Comment 3 LENHOF 2002-07-13 05:58:29 EDT

Did you connect as root ?

If so, this is a normal behaviour of xscreensaver... 

And because xlockmore is not part of limbo you cannot lock the X screen when
connected as root.

A workaround :

So you can go to a normal console, connect and launch vlock -a.

Indeed, I connected as root. vlocks helped. Thanks a lot.
