While keeping firefox, gedit and dependants, I removed every package
found with "gnome" in the name. That left one gnome.
peter@joule:/home/peter$ dpkg -l | grep gnome
ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1:i386 2.72.0-2
i386 HTTP library implementation in C -- GNOME support library
The green button persisted. With some luck, googling found this page.
https://superuser.com/questions/1084382/weston-screen-blanking
shutting off idle screens is a good idea but the green button is
pointless. Therefore set idle-time and locking. This is the current
weston configuration here.
peter@joule:/home/peter$ cat .config/weston.ini
# joule:/home/peter/.config/weston.ini
[core]
xwayland=true
# Black display after 4 minutes of idleness.
idle-time=240
[xwayland]
path=/usr/bin/Xwayland
[shell]
# The display is not locked. Don't show the pointless green button.
locking=false
allow-zap=true
Observation:
The title "Unlock your desktop" can be improved. I suggest "Unlock weston".
