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

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.

There is a touch screen computer, which should (as far as possible) only

I enlarged the window decoratation and the fonts to use but my big

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.

Hi Lisi (et al)
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 :)

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!

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