Thread: After suspend/hibernate I get a very ugly XScreenSaver login window


lubuntu rocks - fast , looking.

1 thing spoils overall impression. after suspend or hibernate. when restarting ugly xscreensaver 5.14 login window spoils overall impression.

there way replace more elegant?

maul

to answer own question....

answer appears "no, ugly login after hibernate cannot (easily) replaced."

windowing toolkit not used login window after suspend/hibernate might compromise security. unlike other situations (demos , startup), when suspended or hibernated, user has been authenticated , there must no possibility of bug in screen saver or windowing toolkit enabling user bypass login window, see http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#toolkits.

having understood this, makes perfect sense prioritise security on cosmetics.
