main menu. Alter a shortcut by double-clicking it and entering a new<br />

For quick access, you can also add the Lock and Logout icons to the panel. To do so,<br />

right-click the panel then click Add to Panel → Applet → Lock/Logout Applet.<br />

When you lock your screen, the screensaver starts. To unlock the screen, move your<br />

mouse to display the locked screen dialog. Enter your username and password then<br />

press Enter .<br />

For information about configuring your screensaver, see Section 6.2.1, “Appearance<br />

& Themes” (page 167).<br />

5.2 Logging Out<br />

When you are finished using the computer, you can log out and leave the system running<br />

or restart or shut down the computer. If your system provides power management, you<br />

can also suspend the computer, making the next system start much faster than a complete<br />

boot.<br />

To log out and leave the system running, do one <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

• From the main menu select Log Out → End Current Session.<br />

• Use the keyboard shortcut that is defined in the Control Center Section 6.2.7,<br />

“Regional & Accessibility” (page 171). Usually, this is Ctrl + Alt + Del . Then<br />

click End Current Session.<br />

• Click the Logout icon in the panel. If your panel does not include the logout icon,<br />

you can add it to the panel as described in Section 5.1.3, “Locking Your Screen”<br />

(page 139).<br />

5.3 Desktop Components<br />

or Macintosh users. The main components <strong>of</strong> the desktop are the icons on the desktop<br />

and the panel at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the screen.
