Just as an example, I do use this with WindowMaker. My Sun Type 6 keyboard has a nice double-width button "Help" in the upper left - excellent for hitting it when leaving the workstation. It is connected with the "xlock" command. > I like the bluetooth idea too, with the caveat that the range might not be > sufficient. To make it more complicated, what about wearing some specific USB device on your clothes, attached to a chain, and when you leave the computer, it will pop out of the USB socket and therefore cause "xlock" to be called? :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
