Forget what I wrote earlier. In gdm.conf, find these options: > > BackgroundProgram > RunBackgroundProgramAlways > > Change them to something like this: > > BackgroundProgram=xscreensaver -nosplash > RunBackgroundProgramAlways=true Yeah - I tried that, but that does something different. That runs it while the GDM login screen is up, and does *not* start xscreensaver after you login (AFAICT). I can get xscreensaver to start by putting it in .xsession (though IIRC, GDM has a problem where it ignores .xsession) or something of that sort, but that still doesn't let me use the GDM login to get back in. The reason I want to do this is because I'm using the pam_ssh module to authenticate to both my desktop and ssh-agent; I was hoping that I could have it automagically lock me out / require re-login after a period of time. w
