Did you also kill the xscreensaver daemon? You might have been getting odd behavior due to xscreensaver and light-locker/lightdm fighting over the display. I don't know enough about X to know whether those timeout errors are important. When I've used light-locker, the display would typically blank briefly before showing the lightdm screen. (That's how light-locker works: it starts a lightdm instance, which you "log in" to in order to unlock the session.) > Other than pushing out the screen lock time which I've done in xfce > settings, or disabling the lock, what do you suggest? light-locker is a > "depends" of task-xfce-desktop so not removable. If light-locker running by itself still isn't behaving properly, you could disable the daemon via the Xfce session control panel. Untick the box in the list of startup applications, and make sure it's not listed in the list of currently running applications. That would leave you without a screen lock, but I suppose you could reinstall xscreensaver. mike
