Not sure that'll make things really clearer. Thing is, we *are* using a screensaver, it's just not an animated one, it's a blank screen. And that blank screen comes for X11 itself and light-locker listens to the signal and then waits for n seconds (option below the one you mention) and then locks (which means switching to a new VT).
The automatic locking can happen before or after the screensaver kicks in. If it kicks in *before*, that's more secure, but might cause trouble with suspending by closing the laptop lid. If you lock later, suspending works. I know this is a bit complex and we likely shouldn't expose this to the user at all, however it seemed like the best solution for the rather difficult "black screens suspend issue" xubuntu 14.04 was haunted by. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1504958 Title: Minor wording issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1504958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
