Hi, I'm currently moving all our local school's desktop clients from Slackware 14.1 to CentOS 7 + Xfce. Right now I'm fine-tuning the default user profile. I have a problem with XScreenSaver. The application per se works very well. Only there's a hard-coded pop-up window that reminds the user that he's not running the latest version. So, if I'm running version 5.36 as provided by the EPEL repo and not the latest and greatest 5.38 as provided upstream, I get a pestering pop-...

No, there's no configuration setting. And no way to turn it off.

...In fact, I consider it my responsibility to do exactly the opposite. It's not rocket science: someone on your distro's team just needs to update it ONCE A YEAR. If that is too onerous for them, then I'd prefer that they not distribute my software at all. If you don't like the way XScreenSaver works, then don't run it. I hear GNOME Screensaver is a thing that also exists. See how that works out for you instead." I didn't know a screensaver was that critical.

I think you can use the --no-splash switch. https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man1.html There's probably also a config setting in .xscreensaver.

For an out-of-box Centos install that utilizes PAM for xscreensaver within both gnome and kde, what factors would lead to xscreensaver not being able to properly unlock the user? I reviewed the logs and nothing helped. I performed ldd on xscreensaver and an ls -l on each dependency proved they were all there. The system uses local /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow...

I just got the following response from Jamie Zawinski, the XScreenSaver developer: "Yes, your distro sucks, and I wish they would stop redistributing my software if they refuse to keep it up to date." He apparently had the same re...

And no way to turn it off. Not even --no-splash? That option shows up right on JWZ's site. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

The people at Debian were chuntering that it'd be a good idea for xscreensaver to ask ssh-add to drop its keys when it blanked the screen. Would the attached script (which does just that) be worth adding to the contrib directory? It would also be useful to give ssh-agent a facility to drop its keys after some time of inactivity. How easy would this be to implement? Thanks,...
