Bug 267248: x11/cinnamon-screensaver: Updating to 5.4.4
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D267248



--- Description ---
cinnamon-screensaver is now available in release 5.4.4

The attached diff updates the port for this newer release. Additional chang=
es
- A port option is added for enabling screen locking.=20

As I've not been able to get this screen locking feature to ever unlock, and
I've seen similar reports from other cinnamon users, I've not enabled this
feature by default.=20

Perhaps it should be a normal build feature, without an option, for this so=
urce
feature to be disabled. It might seem contrary to an interest of user priva=
cy,
to disable this feature in all port builds.=20

In a guess albeit, perhaps this feature might be particularly oriented to L=
inux
platforms? Maybe someone has ever found a way to configure the desktop
environment such that the screen can be unlocked, on FreeBSD platforms.

This patch would correspond to a patch to be published shortly, for
x11/cinnamon and other ports from linuxmint in updating to a 5.4 series rel=
ease
