>Description:
Screen lock / screensaver password under KDE 2.2 does not work by default for non-root users.  What I mean by this is, if a user locks his display, he can't unlock it.  


>How-To-Repeat:
Install 4.4-RELEASE and KDE 2.2 from packages on the install image.
>Fix:
I had to make this suid root for it to work, however I don't know that this is correct security-wise.
