    Hi all,
    Sometimes the login window does not appear after I lock the screen only the breech ball constantly spinning and I would need to cold reboot to fix, is there a key combo to force it to appear like wintel systems? Also is there a keyboard combo to lock the computer, I find clicking the lock icon slow when I am in hurry to lock the machine

    Thanks in advance
