If lightdm is installed, then lxlock will use dm-tool for screen locking. dm-tool is part of lightdm. It seems to be the same if you use "dm-tool switch-to-greeter" or "dm-tool lock". Aren't these supposed to lock user's session? I do not see the point why you would have to use another lock utility before dm-tool as the latter provides its own password prompt for unlocking screen and you would have to give password another time to ulock the first lock (unless you use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to bypass the greeter). If lxlock would use say slock (from suckless-tools package) for locking, instead of dm-tool, the Ctrl+Alt+F7 trick would not work. So isn't the bug in dm-tool's inability to lock screen properly and thus the correct package for this bug is lightdm?
