[Bug 871047] [NEW] Lock Screen at lid closing

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hi, I've just installed the daily version of Oneiric 11.10 in my laptop.

Before, with Gnome 2, I've configured it for when I close the laptop lid
it lock the screen demanding the password. It's because sometimes I go
to any places publics or with my friends and I don't want to have the PC
trolled when I leave it for a while.

Now, with Ubuntu 11.10, the gnome-screensaver is deleted, so when I
select the "blank" option at "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
lid-close-ac-action"  with dconf-editor, only it puts the screen black,
but it doesn't block the screen because before the gnome-screensaver was
the responsible of doing it and with Gnome 3 and Unity it dissapears.

It's possible to add and "lock-screen" option that executes the lock
screen command? Because I think that to close the screen is a better
gesture to make sure that you've locked it more than remember always to
do Ctrl+Alt+L.

Thanks!
