Enhancement: lightdm-lock gnome-extension solves missing gnome screensafer lock

[Cyborgscode]

As gnome does only lock the screen when GDM is used, the lightdm-lock gnome-extension is needed to lock the screen.

Two changes are needed to make that work, as the lightdm-lock has two bugs:

a) a false initialisation routine ( fixed it in my version )
b) it does not suspend the device and blocks the powerbutton.

A) is was easy to fix
B) will be my task for the next days. Until i can supply a fix, if possible at all, pls keep the issue open.

Works \o/

We now have Screenlock AND Suspend.

I opened a feature request at Gnome to add the functionality to the energy-prefs window as an option for the power-button.

Update: Extension is no longer needed.

gsd-media-keys got patched and can be shipped out of the copr repo as soon as we have package ready.

I have no idea what this is about - but it looks like you got your problem fixed yourself.
Can this ticket be closed ?

It does no longer matter for our stable image, the nightly image still uses LightDM, so it could be relevant again.
