Description

Legacy GNOME screensaver behavior can be used with a disabled watchdog for setups that rely on xss-lock or custom X11 session handling. It is useful for advanced users maintaining older locking workflows.

Screen locking is security-sensitive. Test lock and unlock behavior carefully, because a misconfigured screensaver can leave the session accessible.
