Hello,
in fedora 13, the gnome lock screen (System tab) does not work !
After an upgrade from 11 to 12 to 13.
I noticed that the option "lock screen does not exist if I log in root
(X11).
Is there a line command to do it ?
Thank.
On GNOME desktop environment usually 2 screensaver programs are
available - gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver - neither of them refuse
to lock screen when logged in as root. It is not a bug but an intentional
feature.
