Instead of locking the keyboard I suggest that you use a screensaver that requires a password to get back into the computer.
You can set that up using the KDE Control Center. You can also set up the screensaver so that it can be invoked by some key combination, say <cntrl> <shift> <tab>

Then you can hit <cntrl> <shift> <tab> and walk away from yuour computer.
