           Summary: add a transparent see-thru screensaver (keyboard/mouse
                    lock only, screen is displayed)
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: zyagon at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

there is a security risk on workstations with the only purpose to display on
screen information/stats/monitoring and do not require keyboard/mouse input
during normal operation. they may be unattended at some times and input should
remain locked unless password is entered.

this is a basic feature available in sun and windows desktops but not yet in
kde. i understand the purpose of a screensaver is to keep monitor working and a
transparent screensaver would not do it (not needed in this case either) but
looks like it's the best place to implement this feature

this feature may improve security to IT/support staff, bank/trading information
screens, embedded systems and other setup's where screen has to update the
whole time but input devices should remain locked 



Reproducible: Didn't try
