Dear Fedora users,
I'm using FLUXBOX as my desktop manager (without GNOME) and
GNOME-SCREENSAVER as my screensaver program.
I've noticed that GNOME-SCREENSAVER does not automatically blank the
screen anymore; it should blank the screen after 5 minutes but even
after +/- an hour, for instance, the screen is not blanked even if
GNOME-SCREENSAVER is up and running.
Trying to query the status of GNOME-SCREENSAVER, I get:
$ gnome-screensaver-command -q
The screensaver is inactive
The screensaver is not inhibited
and if I force to activate the screensaver:
$ gnome-screensaver-command -a
or to lock my screen:
$ gnome-screensaver-command -l
It works perfectly.
Please note: just to check if GNOME-SCREENSAVER worked I've tried to
use GNOME instead of FLUXBOX and...
Yes under GNOME all is OK
I used to use FLUXBOX + GNOME-SCREENSAVER since FC10 and under FC10
all worked perfectly.
Any idea to let GNOME-SCREENSAVER work under FLUXBOX again?
Thank you very much in advance!!
Cheers!!
-- Marco
