The problem is that light-locker-settings fails if the expected file
does not already exist. There is a simple workaround by creating an
empty file in that location before launching light-locker-settings:
$ touch ~/.config/autostart/screensaver-settings.desktop
$ light-locker-settings
I am also attaching a patch that kind of solves this problem by masking
any error that the load function might raise. I do not really understand
the GLib python bindings here, though. Apparently it is supposed to
return an error code, but at the same time it always raises a generic
GLib.Error, so the return value cannot be checked at all...?
