Hello. On my Debian 7.8 system, both xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver, are shown as being installed, and, now, to try to get a screensaver to work, I have downloaded hundreds of MB of extra stuff, to try to find a screensaver that works on Debian 7, so I also, now, apparently, have the kscreensaver (and thence, kde and kdm, and k*).
But, in traversing through the menu's in the GNOME Classic interface, no screensaver is listed, that can be found, and, in going to the System Tools -> Administration and System Tools -> Preferences, nothing is displayed, that refers to screensavers. Does Debian 7 allow screensavers, that lock a screen, and require logging in, either when the system has no external input for a defined period of time, or, when a person manually invokes the "Lock screen" functionality? If so, how do I get a screensaver to work, in Debian 7? I realise that alot of fuinctionality was lost to Linux, with the abandoning of GNOME2, but, surely, if screensavers can be installed, and, are installed, on Debian 7, there must be a way to show their presence (other than a package manager showing them to be installed), and, to get one of them, working? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
