unfortunatelly I can just confirm your experiences (in the most cases,
when vmware is running for longer time). it's the same for me.
normally when I click on "lock screen" it executes the
/usr/bin/kdesktop_lock --forcelock command. after I stop using vmware if I
click on "lock screen", nothing happens, the command doesn't get executed.
(the command really doesn't get executed, because I log exec*() calls with
grsecurity)
libc6 2.2.5-7, xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-17, xlibs 4.1.0-16
kdebase 3.0.2-0, kscreensaver 3.0.2-0, kernel 2.4.18, vmware 3.1
