When I start gnome with startx command pravi@savannah:~$ cat .xinitrc exec gnome-session
it does not start gnome-screensaver and can't lock the screen. I guess it is a bug in gnome-session. Did gnome-session delegate starting screensaver task to gdm3? -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
