This led me to an entry for screen locking in the power management
manual where a number of lines begin with /apps/gnome-power-manager/...,
for example:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings
Elementary question: Where to find these?
I have checked ~/.gnome/apps
There is no directory gnome-power-manager. There is a file
~/.gnome/apps/Screen/lock/Lock Screen (XScreenSaver).desktop which
contains a line Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock. There is no
such entry in /usr/bin, in fact, nothing beginning with xsc.
I did find the applet inhibit which will prevent the system from
blanking the screen, suspending or hibernating. Not an ideal solution,
I would prefer the system to hibernate leaving me logged in.
