Public bug reported:
When a screen-locking method is available, 'xdg-screensaver lock' should
always lock the screen.
Steps to reproduce:
On a fresh installation of Lubuntu 14.04, run:
$ xdg-screensaver lock
Expected:
[screen locks]
Actual:
ERROR: Unknown command 'lock'
However, it is possible to lock the screen via:
$ light-locker-command -l
The xdg-screensaver script uses one of several external utilities,
depending on the desktop environment. It falls through to
screensaver_xserver() at line 697 (or 740, because the function is
duplicated!), which does not include a lock function, even though one is
available.
This is a problem because xfce4-power-manager (part of lubuntu-desktop)
uses xdg-screensaver to lock the screen on suspend under Lubuntu, but
this has no effect. This may represent a security risk as a computer
configured to (and reasonably assumed to) lock on suspend will actually
resume straight to the desktop.
