I have been wanting to put a "lock screen" icon on my desktop (in Ubuntu) for a while now as I change systems via a KVM frequently while I work - and returning to Ubuntu from another KVM port always leaves the mouse doing weird things. Now all I have to do is click the icon (launcher!) and I'm done! BTW the default launcher icon is totally lame, so I changed it to the "gnome encrypted locked" icon (a padlock) which works perfectly. Thanks! This is totally awesome! Jim (JR) This is SWEET!

If you are using Fedora then install xlock package by following yum -y install xlockmore* and execute xlock command to lock your root screen. I hope its available for Ubuntu also. But I didnt tried this in ubuntu Enjoy. :) Which Distribution you are using?
