Lock Screen Image

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to change the lock screen (Mandrake 9.1) so that it would show an image instead of a black screen (which is what its doing right now)?

Thanks.

I think locking starts the screensaver.
If you set a screensaver which displays images, you should be done.

- Set a different screensaver in the KDE control center:
Appearances and Themes -> Screen Saver
There's one that creates a slide show of images
from a directory you specify. If you want only
a single image then copy it into a directory of
its own.
- Make sure the option "require password to stop screen saver"
is checked.

Oops, seems like I'm five minutes too late ;-)
