I'm also having problems with the patch:
- The patch hardcodes the preferred screensaver.
- It doesn't only check which screensaver is installed, but not which one is actually running (similar to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3791)
- If the screensaver is installed but not running, locking will fail: $ xscreensaver-command -lock xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 $ gnome-screensaver-command --lock ** Message: Screensaver is not running!
Hmm, all three points could be addressed by checking the exit code, I'll rework the patch tomorrow.
- AFAIK newer versions of gnome-screensaver require a running gnome-session and therefore will not work inside an LXDE session.
No, it works just fine.
- Why not use xdg-screensaver?
Because it suffers from the same problems as my patch. It checks whether xscreensaver is running and otherwise uses the screensaver of the currently running desktop environment which will fail if another screensaver is running. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
