Description of problem: /usr/bin/xflock4 from package xfce4-session lists two possible screensaver programs to use for screen locking, but neither of these are available in any other RHEL or EPEL package currently, as shown in this snippet: for lock_cmd in \ "xscreensaver-command -lock" \ "gnome-screensaver-command --lock" do $lock_cmd >/dev/null 2>&1 && exit done Installing the MATE desktop packages and manually adding mate-screensaver-command to the list in the script works fine, as would be expected for a branch of Gnome 2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-session-0:4.10.1-7.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in graphically with XFCE desktop chosen 2. Click on the Action Buttons on the panel (that by default is showing the current user on the upper right of the screen) 3. Click "Lock Screen" Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: X session locks Additional info: These reports look related to me: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1166227 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10217 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8993
Right, we should be able to use the same fix/patch from 1166227 which should allow a xfconf setting to set whatever lock program you want to use.
Can you try this scratch build? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12073821 It should alow you to set whatever lock screen program you want via xfconf...
Thanks Kevin, I can confirm that it works for me by setting the xfconf property /general/LockCommand to "mate-screensaver-command --lock".
