If I attempt to lock the screen, it locks with "xflock" instead of
xscreensaver. If I run "xscreensaver-demo", I get
"The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display ":1.0".
Launch it now?"
If I click "yes", then xscreensaver starts running when the computer
is locked, but I get "Authentication failed", and I have to switch
TTYs and killall xscreensaver to get back into my desktop.
Config:
(screen-locker-service xscreensaver "xscreensaver")

Duplicate of #57071, closing.
(And yes, it's unfortunate. I miss xscreensaver.)
