Changing lockscreen

Hi,

I use xfce4-power-manager with awesome window manager on Ubuntu 14.04. I would like to change the lock screen that xfce4-power-manager starts to slock. Can you help me with the configuration?

Cheers

Re: Changing lockscreen

How do you want to change it?

What version of xfce4-power-manager?
What screen locker program are you currently using?

Re: Changing lockscreen

Hi, all xfce-power-manager does is run "xdg-screensaver lock" which in turn tells the actual screen locker program to lock the screen. It does so by either using the D-Bus method or by running a predetermined program, typically xscreensaver. I don't whether there's a method to manually change the program that "xdg-screensaver lock" runs, it's looks like it's all automatic.
