This bug is a spin-off from bug505915 Comment #66; issue originally raised by Martin Donald. This is a design decision from the gnome folks, so it's not going to be changed there I don't think. The Xfce folks can't change gnome-screensaver, so it's unlikely to be fixed there. See all of the following: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=536381 http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5927 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592093 https://launchpad.net/bugs/411350 https://launchpad.net/bugs/493573 It was my understanding of this issue however, that it would still work if you logged in via gdm and still had gnome-session installed/setup. Is gnome-session installed? Are you using gdm to login? Perhaps I am misunderstanding the scope of this bug. Kevin, Thanks for super fast response! > Is gnome-session installed? Yes, g-s is installed; it was running at time of login window: root 1392 1 0 Mar03 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon root 4824 1392 0 00:49 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave root 4825 4824 7 00:49 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -verbose gdm 4850 4824 0 00:49 /usr/bin/gnome-session After login with xfce4, gnome-session disappeared, and was replaced by xfce4-session: root 1392 1 0 Mar03 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon root 4824 1392 0 00:49 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave root 4825 4824 0 00:49 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -verbose timliim 4961 4927 0 00:52 /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc timliim 5114 4961 0 00:52 /usr/bin/xfce4-session > Are you using gdm to login? Could you elaborate what you meant? On a fresh installed F12, I did "yum groupinstall XFCE", then use the usual graphical login screen, using "XFCE4" as session. Does this count as "using gdm to login?" > it would still work if you logged in via gdm and still had > gnome-session installed/setup. As show by ps, upon login with xfce4, g-s disappears and x-s shows up. Is there a way to tell xfce4 to use g-s instead of x-s? Thanks. > Perhaps I am misunderstanding the scope of this bug. The complaint was mainly about g-ss not kicking in in XFCE4. Anyway to get it working is good to me. Kevin, Thanks for pointers in Comment #2. Looks like this is an impasse between gnome and xfce. Shoule we just close this bug WONTFIX? View from gnome (who owns g-ss): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592093#c2 2010-01-29 I'd say that the xfce session should probably do something like gnome-session. Either that or an external module that implements the same dbus interface. I don't think we are going to fix this. This is the gnome screensaver after all :) View from xfce (who borrows g-ss for its own use but complains about change in g-ss): http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5927#c4 2009-10-30 Yes, it definitely suck, but there's not much one can do, exept asking for GNOME people to revert the change and stay with the X idle counter. Yeah, I fear we just need to get folks who use Xfce to switch over to xscreensaver. ;( The spin and group should do this soon... Sorry for the bad news. Understand. Thanks! |
