The original question has not been addressed: should either gnome- screensaver itself, or the dbus org.gnome.ScreenSaver "Exec=" command, check for a running xscreensaver and abort?
Thus, this bug should stay in gnome-screensaver. If you really want to sweep it under the carpet, mark it as WONTFIX. If you want to fix it, I have included a simple workaround in the original submission (may I ask why it is not acceptable?) Why update-notifier and nm-applet trigger org.gnome.ScreenSaver is a separate issue, and if time permits I will open a separate bug. ** Changed in: lxde-common (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726480 Title: gnome-screensaver forces itself upon xscreensaver users -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
