Created attachment 4531 xfce4-session-4.10.0_slimlock.patch Slimlock [1] is a new screen locker gaining in popularity among Arch and Gentoo XFCE users; it has been in AUR, and was just added to Gentoo Portage tree a few days ago. To fully integrate with XFCE (e.g., locking on sleep through the power manager), slimlock must be suppored by xflock4 in xfce4-session. I am attaching a patch against 4.10.0 to accomplish this. Slimlock is invoked in the same manner as slock. Thanks! [1] http://joelburget.com/slimlock/
Will this patch be added? It's been two years since the bug report was opened! Many users use slimlock and this will help them a lot.

This bug is obsolete as any distribution can set their default locker easily by setting the /general/LockCommand property in the xfce4-session channel of xfconf (it's integrated in xflock4). Users who switch to a different lockscreen can consequently also easily fix this. It's arguably not a very discoverable feature, but changing the default lockscreen of a distribution is also not a very every-day "normal" operation imo. The main reason - from my point of view - xflock4 was still extended by distros with patches was because they had a default locker that was not in the list.
