When I press Ctrl + Alt + Del I get a dialog with two buttons: Log-out and Lock.
I spent a significant portion of my time working on Windows workstations, and the default there is Lock. It is a habit, that when I want to leave my computer I lock it by quickly pressing Ctrl+ Alt+Del and Enter.
It's frustrating that in unity the default value of the dialog box is Logout, and I end up logging out and sometimes unsaved work is lost.
How do I make the default value Lock instead of Log-out?
