The current/new implememtation of the screensaver and desklock settings 
is not exactly what I was hoping for and IMHO not consistent.
Although I can set a custom screensaver/desklock command, this command 
will be used for both screen-saving and desklocking as far as I can see. 
So when I set "Enable X screensaver" leaving "Lock when the screensaver 
starts" unchecked, but use "xlock" as my custom screensaver/desklock 
command (since I have problems with PAM), this command is used every 
time the screensaver activates (and of course locking my screen which I 
don't want).
In order to have locking and screen-saving decoupled, I think there 
should be two custom command lines, one for the screensaver and the 
other one for the desklock command. The "Lock when the screensaver 
starts" option should be deactivated (greyed out) as soon as there is a 
custom screensaver command defined (which should take care of whether or 
not to lock the screen when starting).
The custom desklock command should only be used when an explicit screen 
lock (e.g. launching "Lock Screen" from the system menu) is requested.


Hope that makes sense.

Cheers,   Nick.
