Can I lock the screen of a computer but still make it visible to the others?
Can I lock the screen of a computer but still make it visible to the others?
Although the solution might not depend on remote control, I have this question, when accessing a remote computer via xpra or vnc.
For example, I saw some people work from home, by remotely accessing their computers in office, and let their bosses or colleagues see they are working by making screens of their office machines visible to anyone who is physically in front.
Is it possible to further make the screens of the office machines locked so that others can't operate on the office machines?
Thanks.
