Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 47.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Recently I uninstalled the 'gjs'[1] package since it did not appear to be required for functionality in the GNOME desktop environment I have installed. However, I later discovered that without 'gjs' installed, screen locking using a keyboard shortcut (default meta+L) ceased to function. I don't yet know precisely why that began failing without gjs installed, but I thought it would be worth reporting. Perhaps this is not strictly a bug: functionality for most of GNOME does not depend on gjs, and there is a message bus in-between the relevant components. I discovered the fix thanks to a comment[1] on an Ubuntu Launchpad bugthread describing the error that appeared at the dbus layer: an inability to invoke a program for a org.gnome.ScreenSaver handler event.
