Your decision to make the first key press the firstr key of the password when password protection in enabled deviates from all past practice on OS/2, Wincrap and Linux.

The first key press or maouse movement should bring up the password dialogue.

What is your reasoning for this?

It was a request of a user, and as it matched the behaviour of the screen saver I have on Linux at my work, so I thought it's a good idea.

If it's disturbing, I can make it optional in the next release.

Personally I prefer the previous behaviour. I couldn't get used to the Linux way....
Maybe I'm in the minority.

Okay, I've made this thing changable. It will be in v1.6, but I don't have the idea when it'll be released. Might be 1 week or maybe 2.

Until that, you may want to switch back to v1.5 or wait a bit.

Hi Doodle,
I just tried the Cairo modules on my laptop and the Cairo clock is static, i.e.seconds hand does not move and the Cairo block does not do anything, ie. black screen. Is there some other option which I need to enable?

No, both the Cairo Clock and the Cairo Shapes modules should be dynamic without any settings.

Please contact me directly in email (you'll find the email address in the readme.txt) and we'll sort it out somehow.

I really like the way to put the password now. I never get used to call first the atention of the OS, and them press the password keys. I like to put directly the password and press enter (it is one key press faster). But it will be nice for future version if it can be set as an option since it seems to be a lot of people that liked it the other way.

I really like the ability to put the password in directly as Lockup always did.
Thanks,
Andy

That is simply not true! The IBM Lockup that is part of OS/2 always used to do it that way.
