*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
You have been subscribed to a public security bug by Avital Ostromich (avital):
When setting light-locker to lock screen after screensaver is activated,
light-locker doesn't actually lock the screen. It blacks the screen, but
doesn't lock.
When setting light-locker to lock when screensaver is deactivated, the
light-locker fails to black the screen, screensaver is never enabled and
the "blank screen after" is reset to "never" and nothing happens.
In either case it's impossible to have the screen locked, in the second
case even the screensaver is disabled.
So installing and enabeling light-locker, you would expect your screen
to be safe, when you leave it and the screen is supposed to be locked.
