Description of problem: After installing xscreensaver screen lock from the menus no longer works as was the case when gnome-screensaver was the one in charge of the screensaver Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xscreensaver 2. Enable it by clicking Activities and searching for screensaver 3. It will ask to disable gnome-screensaver. Accept and enable it 4. Reload gnome shell by rebooting of ALT+F2 r 5. On the right of the screen where you set your IM status, select "Lock Screen" Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: Screensaver should activate and the screen locks Additional info: I chose XAnalogTv as the screensaver
I use GNOME 3 fallback mode so for now I just guess what is happening, however: > 5. On the right of the screen where you set your > IM status, select "Lock Screen" This "Lock Screen" is in my recognition for gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver is not related to this. And as far as I know currently there is no way to change the "default lock mechanism" on GNOME 3 from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver. The easiest way is to remove gnome-screensaver completely.
(In reply to comment #1) > The easiest way is to remove gnome-screensaver completely. But I guess even after this selecting "Lock Screen" won't work on GNOME 3.
