"New login" in Slackware 15 xscreensaver?

Hi,

Now that kdm is gone, is there any way to bring back the "New login" button in xscreensaver's lock screen?

Isn't there anything similar to "kdmctl reserve" for sddm?

The newLoginCommand in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver is commented out and none of the options in the comments is available anymore.

I believe this has to be adapted for elogind.
Is there something about it on xscreensaver website ?

No, nothing. Xscreensaver hasn't changed. But it looks that the functionality needed is missing from sddm. For gdm it was gdmflexiserver, for kdm "kdmctl reserve".
