[Bug 1536237] Re: gnome-screensaver-command --lock starts the daemon

 

Well, here (in Xubuntu Linux) it launches automatically:

$ killall light-locker
light-locker: no process found
$ gnome-screensaver --version
gnome-screensaver 3.6.1
$ ps aux | grep [g]nome-screensaver
$ gnome-screensaver-command --lock
$ ps aux | grep [g]nome-screensaver

$ killall gnome-screensaver
$ killall gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver: no process found

It is odd, since the command line tells --no-daemon is used as a command
line argument.
