Investigate replacing XScreensaver with Light Locker #102

Closed RobinMcCorkell closed 9 years ago

Light Locker looks nicer, and is supported by upstream Xubuntu. It'd be great to replace the fairly ugly XScreensaver too. Only issue might be with the idle shutdown code: it detects when LightDM is activated and starts a timer based on that. We definitely don't want the machine shutting itself down if it is locked!
