Ok, good. Maybe you can make a shortcut for it, although that might not
work for the same reason.
If you're going to be running the desktop anyway, why
ere is even no option to lock the screen in the upper
right corner menu. No, I'm not running gnome as root.

g idle, it doesn't lock when you
press Super-L, it doesn't lock when you press the lock button, something
else, or all of the above? Are you running Gnome as root?
I always boot to level 3, so I start X at the command line with startx. I
also know that I have to start gnome-screensaver
have to start gnome-screensaver when X starts, and I
tried to do so from gnome-tweak-tool -> startup applications, but I don't
see it listed.
What's the proper way to start gnome-screensaver whith startx?
Thanks!

Even as far back as, at least, Fedora 17, Gnome's screensaver will only
blank the screen. I miss the picture slide show screensaver, and
installing the old X screensaver was a seriously broken attempt at
getting that feature back again. It
the monitor is turned off.

GNOME Screensaver is deprecated (as far as I'm aware) in GNOME in
favor of the GNOME Shell lock shield.
That
I have it installed, but AFAICT it doesn't do anything, nor is there a
GUI to config it.
I've installed xscreensaver because I enjoy a few minutes of eye candy
before the monitor is turned off.

People "usually" suspend their laptop, so that they can continue their work
when they open the laptop. OK!
Two choices [GNOME]:
1 - Menu -> Shut Down -> Suspend
in this case, the gnome-screensaver locks the PC. but the gnome-screensaver is
just a "normal process&quo

Is there a way to perform actions when the screensaver activates or deactivates?
Or when the session becomes idle?

Right now, checking on the number of child processes of gnome-screensaver
still looks like my best bet:
ssID=$(pgrep -n gnome-screensav)
if [ "$ssID" ] && [ $(ps -g $ssID -o pid= | wc -l) -lt 2 ]; then
# Screen saver enabled but not active

spending hours using the mouse navigating through "Dive Into Python").
About all I've found so far is to see whether there are any child
processes of the gnome-screensaver process. I was hoping for something
a bit less involved than that.

In a 'cron' job, is there a way to tell whether the Gnome screensaver is
currently active? Trying to use "gnome-screensaver-command -q" just results
in:

After the most recent update in F12, gnome-screensaver (fedora bubbles)
shows weird artefacts: left areas are not cleaned properly.
The same happens in the screensaver preview window (screenphoto added).
Anybody has similar problems?
