Description rpansky 2014-10-26 17:57:29 UTC

Currently, x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.29 requires either gdm, lightdm or kdm for user switching (i.e. if USE="new-login" is set):

new-login? (
   gdm? ( gnome-base/gdm )
   !gdm? ( || ( x11-misc/lightdm kde-base/kdm ) )
)

I hereby propose to make a lightweight dm lxde-base/lxdm sufficient for that use-flag. For me the combination works fine with the line:

*newLoginCommand:	/usr/sbin/lxdm -c USER_SWITCH

in ~/.Xresources or /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver.

I'd rather rip out the entire USE=new-login thing or make it customisable through a configuration file because now it says IF NOT gdm THEN lightdm, which is equally wrong.

Anyone should be able to set up /etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver with a line like:

*newLoginCommand: /path/to/favourite/executable
