xfce4-screensaver idle/lock failure after xscreensaver removal
due to orphaned autostart desktop entries
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2488676
Using "dnf remove xscreensaver" properly removes
/etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver-autostart.desktop, but as a file in
the xscreensaver-base required RPM.
See trace below.
How did you removed it ?
dnf remove
- with "rpm -e" ?
- with "dnf remove --no-autoremove" ?
Trace:
