Public bug reported:
xfce4-utils needs to depend (not recommends) on xlockmore (or a similar
application) in order for the screen locking functionality to work properly.
Currently, xlockmore is set at "recommends" and this is not acceptable.
The logic is:
DEPENDS = "Needed to function correctly"
RECOMMENDS = "Additional useful functionality but not required for basic
use"
The ability to lock a desktop is essential to desktop security, and
therefore needs to be ear-marked as a required application, and not an
optional application.
While I understand that, by default, *buntu marks recommends as well as
depends for installation, the developers must realize that this setting
can and will be over-ridden by users that, like myself, either do not
want, or do not have the spare resources for, extraneous applications
that do nothing but waste space.
In 8.10, xfce4-utils recommends xlockmore
