Hi Russell,

your observation gives a very clear sense. The name of the lock does not
distinguish between $DISPLAY and therefore two separate kdesktop_lock
processes struggles for one file. Good conclusion!

Because locateLocal expects a TQString value as argument, I suggest
using this fact and make the patch simpler:

--- a/kdesktop/lock/main.cc
+++ b/kdesktop/lock/main.cc
@@ -325,7 +325,7 @@
 #endif
         }

-        TDELockFile lock(locateLocal("tmp", "kdesktop_lock_lockfile"));
+        TDELockFile lock(locateLocal("tmp", TQString("kdesktop_lock_lockfile.%1").arg(getenv("DISPLAY"))));
         lock.setStaleTime(0);
         TDELockFile::LockResult lockRet = lock.lock();
         if (lockRet != TDELockFile::LockOK) {


If you want to get involved, the best way is to register on TDE Gitea
Workspace and create a pull-request. See:

  https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace

Note: Pull-requests should always be on the master branch. Core
developers then take care of a backport patch into a stable branch.

Note1: By the way, in your proposed code is missing free, so this
would leads to memory leaks.

Cheers
