Why gnome-screensaver, what happened to xscreensaver?.Frequently Asked Questions about gnome-screensaver.invokes lightdm.īut Super+L, Sleep and Screen Blank invoke some kind of dbus call.

Gnome devs, why can't I just tell gnome to use a specific command for locking things instead of having to try and hack something together?

Hilariously, calling dm-tool lock takes me back to the LightDM greeter (so I never needed gnome-screensaver in the first place), but GNOME doesn't use dm-tool lock it does it's own witchcraft to call either GDM3's lock or gnome-screensaver if the latter's daemon running. So the system won't lock on wake from suspend and Super+L won't work unless I set a custom keybind. Update, xsecurelock is very nice and very basic (the way I like it), however GNOME is a pain in the rear-end when it comes to using not-gnome stuff.
