------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-10 18:16 ------- Thanks Jamie.. But it means there is no way to get screen lock working if you disable screen blanking, right ? In that case, I'll workaround that at gnome-panel level to run xlock if xscreensaver-command -lock doesn't return 0. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: REOPENED creation_date: description: I run gnome session and I tried to lock the screen from my computer and selected the appropriate icon from the main menu. But locking screen did not start and I did not even get any warning or error message boxes explaining that it can not be done. First I thought that the menu was there even thought I did not have xscreensaver installed but rpm -qa | grep xscree xscreensaver-4.12-1mdk shows that it is. Then I remembered that I have disapled screensaver in the gnome configuration menu. I activated screensaver and tried again to lock the screen but still nothing happened. After logging the user away from the gnome session and logging in again I was able to lock the screen. I think that user should be able to lock the screen even if he do not want to start screensaver after certain period.
