I wanted to be able to change Sunray 2.0 behavior such that
when a person locks the screen on a SunRay device, the screen
would actually lock instead of the login screen coming up
(so a user can walk away and not have someone else use their
console).

Did not get any resolution to this, got one suggestion to update
the driver for the Sunray 150 but we are not using this version
of Sunray and I have all the Sunray software installed.
