Package: mate
Version: MATE Desktop Environment 1.8.1 / xscreensaver 5.26
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to try out the Mate desktop environment and have used xfce and lxde up
to that point.
After installing MATE Core via Synaptic I found that the screensaver didn't
start automatically anymore.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I used System / Preferences / Screensaver (Mate menu) to reconfigure the
screensaver. It warned that the XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running
on display ":0.0" and offered to start it, which I did. It did not configure
the demon to start automatically at the next login, though.
I then added /usr/bin/xscreensaver to the list of autostart applications in
System / Control Center / Startup Applications.
