Description Norman Goldstein 2015-11-04 08:11:01 UTC

Description of problem:

Settings->Privacy->Screen Lock: OFF does not necessarily allow other screen savers to take control of the screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

GNOME 3.16

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Settings->Privacy->Screen Lock: OFF
2. Install xscreensaver
3.

Actual results:

When xscreensaver is configured to kick in after 11 minutes, the GNOME lock screen takes over, instead.

When xscreensaver is configured to kick in after 1 minute, xscreensaver takes over (as expected)

Expected results:
xscreensaver should always take over after its configured wait time has elapsed.


Additional info:

The command
gnome-session-inhibit --inhibit-only
does allow xscreensaver to always take over (as expected)

Comment 1 Yaakov Selkowitz 2015-11-04 08:16:55 UTC

Recent versions of GNOME do not use gnome-screensaver for screen locking; reassigning.
