[Bug 994612] Re: gnome-screensaver-preferences missing
Can this bug still be reproduced with 16.04 and/or 16.10? If so, what can be done upstream by GNOME and/or Ubuntu?

I posted some details on this in a comment at http://askubuntu.com/questions/59577/replace-xscreensaver-with-gnome- screensaver-xubuntu before finding this. The article details on how to deal with it in 11.10 and how the solution doesn't work (because gnome-screensaver-preferences is missing) in 12.04. It would seem that a fix for 12.04, which is an LTS after all, would be easy and worth doing. I'd do it (port the gnome-screensaver-preferences script) myself but I'd have to learn enough python first; I wish I had time for that. My comment gets you to where gnome-screensaver is at least running and locking the screen off the user submenu (top right). You'll just have a blank screen with the date and time in small chars at the top; press any key to get the login dialogue.

@Marc Deslauriers There was a tool called gnome-screensaver-preferences that allowed to configure several gnome-screensaver parameters: * choose screensaver * tune screensaver * set screensaver timeout * choose whether to lock system or not Screenshot: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2009_1209_gnome_screensaver_preferences.png This tool was part of gnome-screensaver package and it was there at least untill Natty.

That's ... nice. xscreensaver's author once said that he won't ever implement features I listed in bug description. Gnome developers decided to destroy their implementation. Sometimes innovation is a thing to hate. I can suggest Ubuntu developers to ship old version of gnome-screensaver with different name, but it's way to nowhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994612 Title: gnome-screensaver-preferences missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/994612/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The old version is gtk2, we need a gtk3 version.
