Comment 1 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2013-07-07 08:35:22 UTC 
Sorry, you can't remove gnome-screensaver.
G-s is needed for 'lock screen' in cinnamon, and cinnamon is compiled against g-s.
Comment 2 Rick Richardson 2013-07-07 08:38:34 UTC 
So we can't a get a real screensaver then?

Sheesh.
Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2013-07-07 08:43:26 UTC 
Why do you think this is a bug?
Disable g-s in autostart and enable x-screensaver in autostart.
What's the problem?
Comment 4 leigh scott 2013-07-07 08:47:03 UTC 
Don't change the flags again as we have no fucking intention to fix this!!!!
Comment 5 Rick Richardson 2013-07-07 08:54:55 UTC 
I have disabled autostart for "screensaver" and enabled autostart for "xscreensaver-autostart" many days ago.  Logged out and in.

See image.

But, "screensaver" shows it started anyhow!

Comment 7 leigh scott 2013-07-07 09:03:38 UTC 
Cinnamon doesn't use autostart for this, it's started from the session file.

If you edit /usr/lib/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog.py you maybe able to use xscreensaver instead.

Comment 8 Rick Richardson 2013-07-07 09:11:26 UTC 
Edit a system file usr/lib/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog.py in Phython ?????

Yeah, right.  Sorry, I'm leaving this open.
