I'd use a largeish icon, like one which is at least 256x256 pixels, rename it to lock.png and using filebox copy and paste it to /home/user/.queen_beecon (that stops it showing up in your images folder).

Then copy the command below (highlight it and ctrl-c).

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked" | echo ""

Then add widget to your desktop.

Next edit the widget (press desktop until you're in edit mode, then hit the spanner icon on the widget).

Once you're in there in the top row select

Type:'snippet'
Show:'Visible'
Status:'Enabled'
(leave command selection for the minute).

Next set size to about 100 width and 100 height (for now, you can edit this later).

Next row

Hide Background:Yes
Hide Click Background:Yes

Next delete every bit of writing you can find to delete in the white boxes you can see all the way down.

Now go back up to Command Title Settings

In that box write the name of your icon, lock.png.

Set Scale to Fit, and Position Center.

Two rows under that hit Position (the one with Title above it), and set it to hidden.

Also set the results position to 'hidden', and Frames to 'disabled'.

Under update policies, MAKE SURE THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SET TO YES IS CLICK.

Then Click on add command on the right, paste the above command (ctrl-v) and give it the name 'Lock'.

Now scroll aaaaall the way back up to the top, and under 'Command Selection' select 'Lock'

Now hit save and run and you're good to go

I know this looks long but once you've done it a few times it literally takes minutes from start to finish, most of the bits will already be filled in correctly anyway. I haven't tested the above command but if you run into any trouble let me know,

Kind Regards,

EDIT:

Lock icons here.

To select a profile via buttons like I've got on the bottom left:

Set the title to whatever you want, but put blank spaces after it so that the results don't show up in the button box- you'll see what I mean!

Set to only update on click, add new command and to set a kernel profile use:

Code:

echo "/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal" | sudo gainroot

You can use any kernel profile in place of 'ideal' in the above, like LV, XLV etc.

Glad the lock worked mate!
