I disagree. If you want xfpm to lock the screen, you have to make sure it can do it, by installing and running a screen locker (which can by xscreensaver, but also gnome-screensaver, kdescreensaver, xlockmore, whatever). The warning could be a good idea when the user ticks the checkbox though. Thanks for reporting. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
