Hi,

I don't know how closely the devs watch the Bug list but I believe I've
fixed Bug 2998.

As this bug results in kdesktop/kdesktop_lock eating CPU and going
unresponsive; might I humbly request that the fix is incorporated in the
next possible/dev version.

As the code I posted on bugzilla used a crude fixed buffer, here's a
cleaned up version that uses malloc.

!         char *lockfilename = (char*)malloc(strlen(locknameroot) + strlen(getenv("DISPLAY")) + 1);
!         strcpy(lockfilename,locknameroot);
!         strcat(lockfilename,getenv("DISPLAY"));
! 
!         TDELockFile lock(locateLocal("tmp", lockfilename));
          lock.setStaleTime(0);
          TDELockFile::LockResult lockRet = lock.lock();
          if (lockRet != TDELockFile::LockOK) {

          }
  
!         TDELockFile lock(locateLocal("tmp", "kdesktop_lock_lockfile"));
          lock.setStaleTime(0);
          TDELockFile::LockResult lockRet = lock.lock();
          if (lockRet != TDELockFile::LockOK) {
