BTW, now that a full rebuild of everything has finally completed I'm now experiencing the OP's problem with kdesktop_lock - so it does seem to be a generic problem in -current. I haven't yet investigated it further, but intend to unless someone else finds a solution first (and no it isn't a suid problem afaict).

I don't have the same problem with a recent 6.2-PR (tested with 9631 nvidia driver). This is using a budget AGP FX 5500 card, dual head. I'm currenty using build 9746, but the lockup happened with every version I tried under recent -current for the last couple months at least, otherwise I haven't noticed a huge difference. Regards -d
