Comment 2 for bug 1327902

Hi Simon
In the past I didn't really care/notice that the lock screen used the desktop wallpaper. I just checked on a 12.04 and it does.
On both my 12.04 and 14.04 none of xscreensaver and xfce4-setttings are installed. Maybe what I called "the old locking system" is a misunderstand from me and is still the current mechanism. I thought the "light" in light-locker referred to light-dm so it would bring what I expected: a lock screen with the default light-dm picture (or an other global home made one I picked and set from /usr/share/backgrounds with ubuntu-tweak).

Whatever the shortcut won't trigger a lockscreen with the light-dm background picture, +++ when the command line will+++. I tried with both light-locker-command -l and "light-locker-command -l" with the Super+L shortcut (in system-settings/keyboard/shortcuts/personnal shortcuts). The first time I was warned this shortcut was already assigned to system lock screen and I was asked if I wanted to something like "replace" or "override", and I clicked yes.

As of my upgrade to 14.04 from 13.04 via a brief jump through 13.10, light-locker wasn't installed and I believed it was because of a upgrade issue. So I installed it, but I was a bit puzzled to see in synaptic that the ubuntu logo was missing beside both light-locker and light-locker-settings, so I'm still wandering if light-locker is the default screen locker for Trusty (I'd now say it isn't, I feel like there is something cooking but still can't be sure).

The strange for me now, since your reply, is that both my 12.04 and 14.04 can/could lock screen with neither xscreensaver nor light-locker nor xfce4-settings... maybe a 4th thing that do the job. Please let me know.

bye bye
