I have a Linksys input switch for my windows and linux box so I can share a monitor. Sometimes, if I spend too much time away from my Linux box, I switch over to it and there is an item on the task bar called kdesktop_lock and I cannot see/move my mouse or use my keyboard. I googles kdesktop lock and found little help.
