Hi, now I see your point and adjusted the description according to your suggestions:
Description: X display locker based on SLiM and slock Slimlock is a X display locker based on slock (a simple X display locker) and SLiM (a desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11). This package is aimed for users who use SLiM and require a lightweight screen locker with smooth integration into SLIM. . In contrast to slock, which displays a black screen which goes away if the correct password is typed, slimlock displays a lock screen which matches the login screen (if SLiM is used). Furthermore it supports DPMS and blocking virtual terminal switching. Slimlock reads your SLiM config files and uses the same interface. If you use SLiM already, then it should work for you automatically. Regards, Sam On 05/01/2013 12:13 AM, Vincent Danjean wrote: > Hi, > > I've not been clear enough.
