locking screen with gdm - how to prevent typing password twice to unlock?
I'm trying to get user switching running properly on slackware current using xfce4 combined with gdm as installed from slackbuilds.org. User switching in itself works fine, but the thing that drives me absolutely nuts is that every time I switch users I need to unlock both gdm as well as xscreensaver. This makes little sense for a user, but I don't see how to fix this as most detailed guides are now pam/systemd specific and use lightgdm or similar.
All I want is that (1) I can lock the screen through the menu, (2) that the screen locks automatically after xx minutes and ideally that the screen goes to sleep after a specified time.
My impression is that I need to get rid of xscreensaver all together and replace it with something else. Unfortunately I don't see how to do both the lock and the autolock functionality.
Does anyone have a clear pointer how to achieve locking the screen for xfce with gdm in such a way that I don't have to type a password twice?
