    In screensaver preferences, set "Lock screen after" to 0 minutes.


You’re right, I forgot once again that Linux/Qubes OS consist of small programs that is made by different other creators.

Setting “lock screen after” 0 minutes just makes the screensaver to lock immediately when the screensaver gets activated.

I have wrote to the creator of the screensaver, and he says X11 sucks and makes it impossible to get the keyboard layout showed.

So I have to disable the lock.

One option is to set the lockTimeout to a large number so that it won’t lock. lockTimeout control have long after a blank screen the lock will be activated.

Another solution is to disable or uninstall the program.


Ah, you are right about the "lock after" option.

I've just checked my system, and in the screensaver preferences window,
the Mode can be set to Disable Screen Saver.  I think that is what you
need to do.

Mike.
