Still some tweaking to do. Finally found where to add <Super>+L to lock
screen for example. In Settings>Keyboard.
Screen blanking is interesting. I have determined that xflock4 just
blanks the screen, not turn the monitor off on my Lenovo x120e. A
couple minutes later something actually turns the video off; have not
figured out what that is. I have put up with the back light on for
months on my old system. Actually on it, I watch something turn off the
screen, then something (I assume xflock4) turn it back on in back-light
mode. Can't figure out what is causing this...
Just general 'phun'.
