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).

Other than the system freeze when shutting down X (or switching to 
another vt) problem it otherwise seems to work ok here with several days 
uptime (between reboots for -current updates). 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.
