I haven't had enough free time to package it.

http://leigh123linux.fedorapeople.org/pub/srpm/cinnamon-screensaver-1.8.0-1.fc19.src.rpm

Maybe I will find the time after my holiday in mid July.

Thanks a lot, your package works for me!

What is left to be done? Submitting it as a new package for fedora, and getting it reviewed?

I think the srpm is just about review ready, it's basically a rename of the gnome-screen-saver srpm from fedora.
I believe Dan Marshal is available to review it once submitted.

your package contains 
  /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
  /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command

I guess we should remove them? Currently it conflicts with the gnome-screensaver.rpm

I'll try to help and submit the package for review.

These pull requests look useful to solve the issue.

I'm not sure why Clem reverted to the gnome name

I have added a patch to cinnamon-1.9.1-4.fc19 so the screen lock works.

That's a great solution, I confirm it works for me, thanks for your work!

However: I had to manually install gnome-screensaver. Do you consider to add a "Requires: gnome-screensaver" to the cinnamon package?

Thanks

nemo-1.8.2-3.fc19, cinnamon-1.9.1-6.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cinnamon-1.9.1-6.fc19,nemo-1.8.2-3.fc19

nemo-1.8.2-3.fc19, cinnamon-1.9.1-7.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Running cinnamon-1.9.1-7.fc19, I still don't see anything under the "screensaver & lock" section of the system settings. I can, however, lock the screen but a portion of the desktop remains visible and blocks the lightdm box in which you type your password. I can still unlock the screen but I have to blindly type my password in and hit enter.

Sounds like a video driver issue to me.

I'm having issues with the screen saver under cinnamon as well. I'm using an intel based chipset and even running xset dpms force off. The screens go dark and then light back up. I noticed this under gnome-shell as well. So I am going to see if there is another issue

I too have a portion of the screen visible on fedora 19 on the lockscreen.  Has anyone foudn a solution to this?

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
