See here: > > help:gnome-help/display-lock > This led me to an entry for screen locking in the power management manual where a number of lines begin with /apps/gnome-power-manager/..., for example:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings Elementary question: Where to find these? I have checked ~/.gnome/apps There is no directory gnome-power-manager. There is a file ~/.gnome/apps/Screen/lock/Lock Screen (XScreenSaver).desktop which contains a line Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock. There is no such entry in /usr/bin, in fact, nothing beginning with xsc. I did find the applet inhibit which will prevent the system from blanking the screen, suspending or hibernating. Not an ideal solution, I would prefer the system to hibernate leaving me logged in. > Or on GNOME 3.0: > > ghelp:gnome-help?display-lock > > -- > Shaun > > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
