Description-en: Screensaver and screen lock formerly used in GNOME
gnome-screensaver is a simple screen saver and screen lock, used in older
versions of the GNOME desktop environment.
.
It is designed to support, among other things:
.
* the ability to lock down configuration settings
* translation into other languages
* user switching
.
This package is not necessary in the GNOME desktop environment, because
GNOME Shell contains its own screen lock implementation. It can be
used with alternative desktop environments.
