    <description><![CDATA[Occasionally my almost 2 year old manages to climb up on my desk and start bashing the keyboard. Of course on the odd occasion it's the cat looking for somewhere warm to sleep despite the fact its not allowed in my office. It would be nice if when a bunch of nonsense keys get pressed all at once or very close together that Ubuntu could lock itself.<br /><br />Once the screen is locked there is very little damage a child can do by pressing keys or playing with the mouse.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[It would also simplify locking the keyboard in an emergency. Instead of having to be in front of your keyboard or trying to find ctrl, alt and l upside down you can quickly lock your keyboard with a quick gesture.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[There's a gnome-panel widget for this. Just add it, pull it to some corner of the screen and you just have to move the mouse to that corner and click. ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[I've got an 18 month old daughter, and you know what I do to prevent 'damage' to Ubuntu?  Lock the screen when you get up.  It's simple, effective, and it's already available for use.  I almost always move the keyboard out of her reach as well.  <br />]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[glococo - Thanks for the tip.  I tried Super-L, but I didn't think to try ctrl-alt-L to lock the screen.<br /><br />Could be better advertised.<br /><br />maix - Would you care to offer more information or perhaps a link to the hotcorner solution you mention?]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Look into pamusb - you can use your Flash Disk as a key (which saves you a lot of password typing, if you desire so) and can also be configured to lock the screen on unplugging the USB-stick and automatically unlocking the screen on insertion.]]></description>
