gnome-screensaver has serious problems on the Wayland session
Hello, I don't know why gnome-screensaver is archived: (https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-screensaver) screensaver is a necessary feature for any desktop.
Affected version
- I saw this bug on all the three Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora
- At least since GNOME 3.30, also tested on latest versions: 3.36 and gnome-screensaver 3.6.1
- only Wayland is affected
Bug summary
manually active gnome-screensaver using a keyboard shortcut on the Wayland session causes lose the system/session
Steps to reproduce
- Set a keyboard shortcut for "gnome-screensaver-command --activate" in Settings
- Press the keyboard shortcut on the Wayland session
- Wait at least 10 seconds, at first move your mouse, then press any key on the keyboard
What happened
You will have lost your session!
What did you expect to happen
This problem is not exist in the xorg session
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
I noticed that if I set another keyboard shortcut ("gnome-screensaver-command --deactivate" or "gnome-screensaver-command --exit") to deactivate or exit the gnome-screensaver, sometimes it can disable the screensaver, just sometimes, specially if I move the mouse before pressing the keyboard shortcut for these commands, it is unlikely to can unblank the screen.
