My remark about processes that "pull the trigger" was based on an empirical observation: if I start LXDE with a disabled /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop, xscreensaver runs, and there is no gnome screensaver. Whenever one of nm-applet or update-notifier starts, dbus loads gnome-screensaver.
What these two applets seem to have in common is that they both pop up small banner-like notices. I can't find any actual code in update- notifier that "tickles" the screensaver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726480 Title: gnome-screensaver forces itself upon xscreensaver users -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
