Hi!
I am making a patch to fix issue #16485 but I have encountered an issue.
I added an option called screenLock to
services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce that can take only "xscreensaver"
"xlockmore" "slock" "gnome-screensaver" as values but:
- gnome-screensaver seems to not exist anymore, at least not on nixos,
so I removed the choice
- slock needs suid to lock the screen, as explained in the wiki too, so
I don't know if with this patch I should install slock and also set it
suid, or if it's better to leave the choice out, or if the user that
puts screenLock = "slock" should be presented an error in case slock is
not set suid by the user themselves.
Thanks for your help
