Control: retitle -1 screen locking does not work without lightdm Control: severity -1 important > In xflock4, please support xfce4-screensaver, which is a mate-screensaver > fork targeted at Xfce4 integration. > > If installed, it should get the same priority as mate-screensaver (probably > one higher). If possible, please also recommend xfce4-screensaver in xfce4-session. This ensures screen locking works out of the box in environments without lightdm running, e.g. under X2go or RDP, in an LTSP environment using LDM, and probably quite a few others. A patch is attached. I would very much suggest to upload this as a Debian patch before buster full freeze, even though it should of course be fixed upstream. I personally know about some hundred desktops that do not (aand cannot) use lightdm (see above), so this breaks quite an important use case if not fixed. -nik
