Whenever my screen locks (e.g. from my screen saver or
from manually
locking) and I go to unlock, I'm told to press CTRL+ALT+Del, and it says
it's displaying that so the login screen doesn't get spoofed.
When logging out, I get a window saying it's saving my settings.
Both of these remind me of WinXP. The CTRL+ALT+Del thing is of WinNT (XP
is based on NT).
Is there a way to turn this off?
Also, if the CTRL+ALT+Del thing is used for unlocking, why not too for
logging in?
It is normally used for both unlock and login. It is a generic
implementation of a Secure Attention Key (SAK), without which Linux is
actually less secure than Windows.
The SAK support can be turned off in the KDM control center module.
