[xubuntu-users] LTS 20.04, Setting screen lock configuration.

[Gérald Jean]

Hello,


I tried as suggested, no effect?  Further more I thought that xset 
settings didn't hold from one session to the other.  I used xset 
hundreds of times on this machine other machines and settings sure 
didn't hold from one session to the next?
