[e-users] Problem with automatic screen lock on screensaver activation

[p***@fastmail.fm]

Hi all,

I have the following problem with automatic screen lock on screen saver
activation: it does not lock the screen and I can't seem to find a
config option to change this.
(System is: Arch Linux, kernel 3.7.5, e17 0.17.0, screen module loaded,
standard configuration, nothing out of the ordinary.)
(To reproduce: start e17, wait for the screensaver timeout or longer.
Note that I'm not sure if this effects just my system or all e17 v
0.17.0.)
(Expected behavior: screen blanks, hitting a key leads do e17 asking for
the user password before unlocking the screen)
(What really happens: screen blanks but screen is not lock, hitting a
key gives access to the e17 session without having to enter a password)

some few other things:

1. Manual screen lock works fine: (main menu -> system -> lock)

2. The "enlightenment_remote -desktop-lock" command has nothing to do
with it (It doesn't work and fails with: Error
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Lock" with signature
"" on interface "org.enlightenment.wm.Desktop" doesn't exist ...)
because I have seen this command not working on another system while
screen lock works

3. Presumably, the desired behavior (screen locks when idle) could be
achieved with "main menu -> settings -> settings panel -> screen ->
screen lock -> custom screenlock command" ... if I only knew which
command is used for the manual screen lock.

4. It should in theory also work without the "custom screenlock command"
option, at least it did in previous releases

5. There are several threads in different forums discussing this or
similar problems; but there are no solutions given. E.g.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156995,
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1210628#p1210628,
http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/Extras),
http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?75680-Enlightenment-E17-Alpha-8-quot-It-s-A-Good-One-quot

6. I am unable to find any e17 plain text configuration files or any e17
human readable log files (if there are any) so that I cannot provide any
more detailed information.

Thanks, any help greatly appreciated.

Can't help with your other problems. For this one enable the dbus
extension module.

settings -> screen -> screen lock -> timers -> lock after x screensaver
activates (with a timeout slider right below it).
