Hello everybody out there,
I have a jessi with tde R14.01 - i.e. from Sláveks repository - running on a computer with a touch screen. TDE is very nice for this environment, because every thing could be scaled so it can be used with finger touch.
My question or problem is, I would like to remove the menu item "lock session" because i can't give the needed passwort for unlocking with the screen-keyboard xvkbd.
How can I configure the TDE-menu for this purpose?
Many thanks for (expected) help
Rolf

I forgot: this will not remove the menu item, but locking will not work.

Well, a better way would be to rename the file:
$ cp /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock_DISABLE
That way - in the future - when memory fails you - you have a chance of knowing what's what, and maybe why. :-)

I just noticed menu edit does not include the "actions" potion of TDE-memu, hmmm no idea here, how to procede.
Do you use "Screen Saver"? screen saver in the Control Center appears to offer a choice on 'locks', not a 'completely disable and never use it on my display" feature though.

I can't understand this. The only time I have had a system lock automatically was when I had forgotten to turn locking off in the screensaver. Other than that, my system has only locked when I have accidentally locked it, which has happened, so far as I can remember, once in 12 years. Why/how is your system locking against your will?

I'll try to explain again.
There is a touch screen computer, which should (as far as possible) only handled with a screen keybord (xvkbd).
I enlarged the window decoratation and the fonts to use but my big fingers (in germany we call this "Wurstfinger" (migth be translated to "sausages fingers") to offen touch the "lock session" entry instead of the shut down entry. Then I have no onscreen keyboard to give the password to unlock the session.
Because there is no session locking needed I don't need the menu entry either.
So once again my question (perhaps the programmers can help) where is the confiuration for this part of the TDE-Menu or what has to be written where, to disable the entry.

So if I understand correctly, you would like to customize the "Actions" part of K Menu to remove the "Lock Session" item? If so, I searched a lot about this customization on the net (to remove the "Switch user" menu item), found some ways supposed to do the trick but none has given a working result so far... Just to let you know you are not alone :)

+1 for Dr. Klepp and Jonseys solution.
I have unwanted screen-lock situaions, I thought I might be pushing the lock screen by accident, but since I rarely log out or shut down my issue is different, same solution....renaming /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock to /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock.bk.

IMHO, this solution works but it is somewhat ugly. I cannot believe there is no cleaner way to do this. There must be a configuration file somewhere though I have not found it yet. Under Linux almost everything is configurable. I cannot believe it is the first time since KDE 3 is out someone need this type of customization. And if an update brings back the screen lock executable, the problem will surface again... On my side I will continue to search for a clean way to do this. If/when I find it I will share with you all for sure.

Hi all,
Okay, I made the following bug reports:
-Add a feature to inhibit ''screen lock'' to TDE https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2464 -Add a button to access kvkbd on TDM login screen https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2465
Depending on the time of the dev team, it might take a while to get the option, but at least now it is in the list!
Hoping this will help TDE to be just a little more touch screen friendly! -Alexandre

I read the bug reports and they describe exactly my problem i.e. a solution for the problem. Thank you very much
