Is there a panel applet to add only a Lock Session button rather than the combo Lock/Logout applet?
Thanks.

Don't know, but here's a script you can execute from a button that works.
#!/bin/bash dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock sleep 3 xset dpms force standby
Best, Michael

Or use the menu or press Ctrl+L. :)
Oddly, with one user account using the Oxygen icon theme, when locking the panel (not the session screen) the Lock button disappears leaving only the Logoff button. The layout of the two buttons with Oxygen is horizontal but is vertical with the Tango icon theme.

if you have the applet in the vertical, it could be the icons are in horizontal layout and you are not seeing the lock icon. To verify this try a wider panel.
I personally keep the usual stuff in the main one that is horizontal and only the open apps are in the additional panel - vertically.

I understand that it may not be what you want (you have the right to prefer clicking icons on kicker :) - but one of the reasons I prefer Trinity is that it keeps the good old OS/2 behaviour that you can access usefull commands with a right-click.
Right-click on the Desktop and you get your lock icon.
That's the way I would do it, but as I said, it's your choice.
