it also doesn't seem to execute the commands for me on debian testing.

it's BlueProximity 1.2.5.

the locking command exists and works from the shell. the proximity details page seems to read my bt device as expected, the icon switches to red key when it (tries to) lock, but the command doesn't seem to get executed, even when i define it with full path:

/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -l

hrm, i think it has something to do with my unlocking settings.

i don't want unlocking, only locking, so i turned the unlock sliders to extremes, and i think that interfered with functioning of the program.

now, it locked my desktop more or less as expected.

ok, i have no idea how it works. it's either bogus, or my mental capacities are not enough to understand its logic.

the red/green key in the icon seems to switch as expected, though.

FYI, a non-obvious behavior: when the preferences window is open, then it gets into 'Simulation Mode' (visible only in the tooltip of the indicator icon), which means that locking is disabled.

this was very much not obvious for me. i was walking away with my phone and staring at the screen from a distance, waiting when it will lock...
