- Lockup does not automatically blank the screen if the desktop is not
- visible. Which means you need a separate screen saver for full-screen
- sessions. It's not a problem for me, since I manually lock the screen
- before leaving the computer anyway, but it may be an important
- consideration. I use ScreenMagic in Win-OS2 full-screen sessions in
- order to blank the screen from them.
-
- Note also that if you forget your Lockup password, you'll have to
- re-boot the computer to change it. While the screen is locked, you
- can not escape back to PM, and CTRL-ALT-DEL is captured. I don't know
- if you can change the Lockup password without knowing the old one, I
- think you can, though.
