--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The use case seems legitimate for this to be an issue.

The thing is, ultimately the way a computer is designed to withstand a
potentially hostile environment is with the screen locker used aggressively.
Like, with a one-minute timeout or something. Because it's going to be next to
impossible to secure a local machine against local attacks when the screen is
unlocked. You can also train your students to lock the screen when they leave
the machine, either with Meta+L or perhaps by putting a Lock/logout widget on
their panels, pre-configured to only have the Lock action visible by default.
That way it's just one click on something big and obvious to lock the screen.

Another question: Do your students have Standard accounts or Administrator
accounts?
