Bug Description

The default ‘Proximity command’ is:

  gnome-screensaver-command -p

But that doesn't exist. Checking gnome-screensaver-command(1), it seems that gnome-screensaver doesn't provide a proximity facility.

I'm running the Ubuntu 11.10 alpha, which has blueproximity version 1.2.5-5 and gnome-screensaver version 3.1.5-0ubuntu6.

--poke/-p did exist until gnome-screensaver version 2.91.91, when it was removed: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ftp-release-list/2011-March/msg00074.html

I suggest using gnome-screensaver-command -d instead, just to make sure the screen is unlocked.

I've been using this as a proximity command instead:
  dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity

I'm not sure whether numerigraphe's suggestion to simply use the '-d' option has the same effect.
