Hello,

Thanks for all explanations. For now I implemented the scd-event script
as:

...

DISPLAY=:0 export DISPLAY
if [ x$status = xNOCARD ]; then
    nohup /usr/local/lib/kde4/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --immediateLock &
    while true; do
      # Signature key ....: 5E69 FBAC ...
      gpg2 --card-status | grep '5E69 FBAC' >> /tmp/scd-event.log  && {
      killall kscreenlocker_greet
      break
      }
      sleep 1  
    done
fi

which works nice: on card removal it locks the screen and on card insert
it unlocks it fine.

No, you are correct, I was inprecise.
