Hi, I do not use gdm but it is both in makedepends and optdepends in PKGBUILD. Does this mean I need to install gdm and the whole gnome shebang on which it depends just for the compilation of xscreensaver? Or can "gdm" be safely removed from the makedepends line in PKGBUILD before makepkg -s as long as gdm support is not wanted? I am upgrading from 5.20, and I don't recall having this issue last time. Thank's for sharing your work.

sorry, just read this version created a interface in system settings. also, tried to run it and this is my output. (null): warning: could not set default locale xscreensaver: 10:52:05: "gnome-screensaver" is already running on display :0.0 (window 0x1800001) on to the manual, followed manual, have to disable gnome-screensaver, cannot remove it with pacman, so read the wiki and disabled it with gnome-session-properties and added xscreensaver seperately. i see why people love arch so much already, i've learned much more than i had before.

fallen00sniper you will never see this in gnome system settings. This is a standalone program, just run xscreensaver. Read the manual.

compiled fine and installed, but i do not see screensaver in system settings. currently running gnome, what did i miss?

@duffydack: Yes, this is the expected behavior. It's because of the gdm makedepend, which is required for GDM integration. This is how the official xscreensaver PKGBUILD is configured, and graysky keeps his packages as close as possible to the repo ones. To avoid the GNOME dependencies when using a login manager that isn't GDM, simply edit the PKGBUILD and remove the gdm makedepend and the "--with-login-manager" flag to ./configure. (I use a customizepkg rule to automate this)

I'm running xfce and latest update is wanting to install some gnome stuff I have not yet needed before. "Targets (8): accountsservice-0.6.25-1 gnome-desktop-1:3.4.2-1 gnome-session-3.4.2-3 gnome-settings-daemon-3.4.2-1 libgnomekbd-3.4.0.2-1 libwacom-0.6-1 metacity-2.34.8-1 gdm-3.4.1-3" Is this normal?

5.19 seems to compile without any shenanigans this time. :)

Thanks for the posts, all. 1) You need gdm as a makedep if you want to enable user switching (function in lock screen). 2) I fixed the PKGBUILD back on 13-July so it will compile for everyone. Please let me know if it doesn't
