          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: xdg-screensaver should control X11's screensaver in
                    xfce as fallback
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: simon at xfce.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: xdg-utils
           Product: Portland

Mostly XScreenSaver or gnome-screensaver have been used in Xfce-based distros
in the past, so it was never a problem that xdg-screensaver doesn't handle Xfce
in a special way.

However, e.g. Xubuntu switched to using light-locker (which doesn't do
screensaving itself but relies on the builtin X11 extension), so it would be
good if xdg-screensaver could handle the internal X11 screensaver as a
fallback.

This is actually a very trivial thing to fix and I've already proposed this
patch downstream in Ubuntu too. However, I hope we can get it included upstream
too as it makes sense generally, not only for Xubuntu.


(Note that currently the X11 screensaver isn't handled as fallback, because
it's only used when no DE at all is detected.)
