Hi Bugs,
This is Jacob; a customer asked OLC a question about quickstations
and the screensaver auto-lock, and says that quickstations seem
to become wedged in a state where Ctrl-L will not work.
I checked with Jon, who had some recollection that this may be
a known problem, but says it's been a while since he's seen
discussion of it.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions that might help Noel
with her screensaver? (I don't seem to have quickstations
in the building, so have no convenient way to test.)
Thanks,
Jacob
