You can simply use a persistent KNOPPIX disk image that will keep all

your usbkey
Most cool. That saved the day for xscreensaver binaries... Thanks!

xscreensaver every time I use Knoppix. When I attempt to configure xscreensaver, I get:

Seems you need headers for X11 lib, maybe libx11-dev package ?
That makes sense... Now I have to find the right package...
cf: apt-cache search X11 headers

If it doesn't help you, maybe you only need to modify kdelock
cf:
dpkg -L kdelock-knoppix
this command will show you that /usr/bin/kdesktop_lock is
/usr/bin/kdesktop_lock.orig
/usr/bin/kdesktop_lock.orig exists, but when I envoke it the screen does not lock. Does it lock for you?
