[qubes-users] Re: How to set the screensaver to either show keyboard language or not to lock screen ?

Yes, it's an issue. Better to open it at there issue tracer or contact 
xcreensaver creator and request to add language indicator. I'm  agree on 
this: Qubes is used worldwide and need to this also about users from other 
countries.

I gave up after trying to install a KDE desktop as I didn’t know how to
make it work. Which was before I received suggestions on this.

Instead I chose to reinstall Qubes and use a password that only consist of
ASCII signs (as the xscreensaver doesn’t seem to be able to handle other
signs in the installed version that Qubes OS 4.0.3 comes with) and use an
easy way to shift the keyboard layout to the language I used to enter the
password with.

That works fine.

But I would prefer a screensaver that also could handle other signs than
just ASCII. As it would make it possible to construct a password that
consist of letters from a non latin alphabet. Which would mean that a
sentence in one language, would end up being rather random letters in
another language. And thereby make it more difficult to use online
wordbooks to break the code in case someone would try to do so.

And it would also make it possible to construct a password that consist of
letters from more than one type of alphabet to make it even more difficult
to break the code.

But of cause, with a key locker that can be overcome.

How well does Qubes OS actually protect against key lockers ?

I’ll make a new thread with that question...
