           Summary: Xfce-session does not lock screen after
                    suspend/hibernate
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: major
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: arch.scar at gmail.com
          Hardware: PC (x86)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.10.0
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

I've marked this bug major, as it causes a user-defined security setting's
failure.

I've a full xfce install on Arch Linux, and I've noticed the following:

In xfce4-power-managers settings I've checked the lock screen after resume fom
sleep/hibernate option, and when I hibernate or suspend from the power managers
tray  icon, it follows my settings.

However, I think the REAL way of quitting your desktop is by design, tradition,
logic and whatever, is by the xfce4-session-logout dialog. And this one DOES
NOT RESPECT the power managers settings. So, on a laptop, if I suspend it,
everyone can resume and use my machine without any password checking. I think
this is a really serious issue.

Tested: GUI (suspend/hibernate) xfce4-session-logout
        CLI xfce4-session-logout ( with --suspend and --hibernate options)

Does not work.

So there's an inconsistency between the two utilities, and I thionk, because
Xfce is a Desktop Environment, its elements should respect each others
settings.
And I think the one that has to be modified is Xfce-session-logout, because the
power manager works correctly.

package: xfce4-session 4.10.0-3
