Um. Now that you mention it ... :}
But not every app is listet in the Force Quit dialog. I think faceless
background apps are missing. Maybe it won't quit one of those
automatically?
Matter of factly, I think that it is just not possible to make
unkillable app: it would kind of render the kill functionality good
for nothing, would it not?
Isn't the point just locking the screen and keyboard? Of course you
could allways ssh in and kill the process from there.
For the precise reason, I don't know at which level the Cmd-Alt-Esc
combination is catched, but it *should* be a low-enough level which is
nonmaskable and nonstealable.
Is it possible to kill the screensaver when it's password protected?
<test> No. So it is possible. :)
bye. Andreas.
