This proposal supersedes a proposal from 2014-06-16.
Description of the Change
This is a very simple patch that provides a fallback for the Xfce DE. Until 14.04, we used xscreensaver, so there was no special case needed for Xfce. However, now that we're using light-locker, xdg-screensaver should handle the X11 screensaver extension's settings (if XScreenSaver isn't installed or in use).
This simple patch does exactly that. It checks for the "xfce" DE *after* checking for XScreenSaver and then let's xdg-screensaver handle things correctly.

Thanks, could you change the merge target to be lp:ubuntu/xdg-utils? The change seems fine to me, but I see that there is some alternative approch discussion on the upstream bug report, so I'm going to wait a few days to see if things come to an agreement there and use the upstream solution if they get one

Looking to that again, your upstream merge request patches the .in, should we do the same here in case those files got regenerated? You also mentioned that the change would be a candidate for a SRU, could update the bug report with the rational/test case/regression potential informations?

Yeah, that would make sense I guess.

I thought I need to report a separate bug for the SRU anyhow with all that information, but only after it's in Utopic?
I can also do it now, I guess I was just confused there about the exact procedure.

for reference:
didrocks | ochosi: seems that you are doing an inline patch
didrocks | would be better to add it as a patch
didrocks | also, I think you can break other use case with replacing '' by 'xfce'
ochosi | no
didrocks | shouldn't you just append (before the '') the 'xfce' case?
ochosi | the thing is, that there is a second ''
ochosi | i submitted another bug report about that
ochosi | ubuntu is carrying a useless patch, which duplicates code
didrocks | ah indeed
ochosi | so i thought i'd use that duplication to my advantage for now
didrocks | so yeah, the replacement is fine
ochosi | simply to produce the most minimal patch
ochosi | to get SRU'd ;)
didrocks | however, this should be carried as a patch, not an inline change?
ochosi | sure, i'm fine with that
didrocks | ochosi: ok, just do that change and I'll +1 for utopic
ochosi | although after it's SRU'd I think it should be done properly
didrocks | ochosi: yeah, try to get it into debian/upstream to not have that as a patch :)
ochosi | i've gotten in touch with upstream, but after the initial reply i haven't heard back...
ochosi | ofc :)
ochosi | i know it's a bit silly
didrocks | but let's do it as a patch first to unblock your SRU
ochosi | yup, thanks!
didrocks | yw, just ping me back :)
didrocks | (also provides a changelog with the bug ref and so on)
ochosi | ok, i haven't ever done a debian patch, but i'll give it a shot
* | ochosi isn't a coder anyways...
didrocks | ochosi: poke me if you need any help, look for "quilt" ;)
didrocks | ochosi: https:/
* | ochosi only understands "scotland"
didrocks | and http://
didrocks | heh ;)
