Hello, [hadn't worn my newbie hat lately... so I thought I'd try it on.] Is there a way to run X via startx and prevent someone from switching back to the console that started it and pressing Ctrl-C, without using DontVTSwitch in my xorg.conf file? I would like to be able to use multiple virtual consoles. But do not like the idea of someone switching back to *my* virtual console... killing X and having my account available to them. This way I could lock my session via xscreensaver, and walk away. Then someone else could login and use the machine... just not *my* account. I had envisioned something like a script that did the following: #!/bin/sh startx & vlock Yet vlock does not like this at all. I was hoping to background startx... and then lock the virtual console. :) Is there anything that might accomplish something similar? Thanks. -- Regards, Eric
