    [xubuntu] Re: Screensaver Lock cannot be disabled in 11.10

    Have you checked $HOME/.xscreensaver?

    It should have a line that reads "lock: False".

    Or you could remove that file and reboot, and so you should end up with a new default version of that file.

    Pay attention to the error messages. At the very least, "QApplication" is misspelled. You are probably missing some semi-colons. You should be able to find the other problems. If not, then post...

    Re: using pipes

    The problem is that the read() system call does not null-terminate the input buffer, which printf(%s) relies on. You must pay more attention to the return value from read().
