Package: xfce4-utils Version: 4.8.3-2 Severity: minor xinitrc tries to avoid starting the screensaver (quite sensibly) if it appears that it's running under VNC:
if test $UID -gt 0 -a -z "$VNCSESSION" -a "$screensaver_enabled" != "false"; then However, tightvncserver doesn't seem to set $VNCSESSION. The only relevant bit in my environment seems to be that $VNCDESKTOP is set to "X". Maybe that environment variable could be checked as well? Or maybe there's a more reliable way of detecting VNC? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-utils depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.8 ii exo-utils 0.6.2-5 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.2-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.8.1-1 ii libxfce4util4 4.8.2-1 ii procps 1:3.3.3-2 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7~3 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.4.8-1+b1 ii xinit 1.3.2-1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 278-2 Versions of packages xfce4-utils recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.6.2-2 ii thunar 1.2.3-4+b1 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.14-1 ii xfce4-panel 4.8.6-4 ii xfwm4 4.8.3-2 ii xinput 1.6.0-1 ii xscreensaver 5.15-3 Versions of packages xfce4-utils suggests: ii xfce4-session 4.8.3-2+b1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
