[Bug 283778] sysutils/xfce4-power-manager: remove annoying screen lock fail message

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283778

--- Comment #4 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
The issue you are experiencing looks like a configuration issue to me. You
should investigate why it is happening.

DO you have a properly configured screen saver able to lock the screen? (for
example xfce4-screensaver, which should actually work)

Have you tried in a clean setup (for example by creating a new user and logging
in as that with a brand new xfce configuration)? This could help identify what
is going wrong.

I also notice the links you sent provide various possible solutions have you
tried those?



Your patch is simply removing upstream code working as intended, and, as you
already state, removing a reasonable check and informative message that other
users could find useful, for example to identify misconfigured systems.

I'm sorry but I cannot accept such an hack in the tree to impose to all users,
when they could find the check useful.


I suggest you try to work with upstream to have this fixed, after having
thoroughly checked your configuration.
