Hmmm I'm not affected by this bug anymore; If I filed it, I'm pretty sure I've been able to reproduce it consistenly.
Aside from several updates passed in the two months, the thing I can think of is that in the meanwhile I manually added gnome-screensaver to the startup applications in order to have the key binding work (I had another bug filed, because it wasn't starting by default and I couldn't lock the screen), though it doesn't explain why when I filed the bug, the applet wasn't working, but the key binding was (assuming they call the same underlying program - otherwise gnome-screensaver could be related). -- Lock screen via applet doesn't do anything https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483033 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-applets in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
