When I lock my session, I see the lock screen pop up then it goes black. To bring it back up, I have to either move my mouse or press a key on my keyboard to bring it back up, which seems to make it stay up rather than after a short while returning back to the black screen.
Is there a way to make it so that the lock screen stays up rather than going dark?
Thanks ahead of time.

Hmm. I tested gnome 3.8 a while back and it exhibited the same behaviour. gnome 3.6 wasn't like it though. There are some settings in dconf relating to gnome screensaver somewhere in org/gnome which you could try otherwise I don't know.

[user@machine ~]$ pacman -Qe | grep 'gnome-screensaver'
[user@machine ~]$ gnome-screensaver
bash: /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver: No such file or directory
It is not installed, but to be complete, I will install it to test.
[user@machine ~]$ pacman -Qe | grep 'gnome-screensaver'
gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-6
[user@machine ~]$ gnome-screensaver
** (gnome-screensaver:5446): WARNING **: screensaver already running in this session
It changed nothing about the system, but I uninstalled it afterwards just to put it back the way it was.

This is annoying me as well, ideally I would like the lock screen to stay up for a configurable amount of time before shutting off the display.

I mentioned this in another thread but for those who missed it I found out that screen locking is provided by gdm. Perhaps there are some gdm settings that can be tweaked to stop the screen blanking instantly. gnome-screensaver definately isn't relavent anymore. The arch package database describe gnome-screensaver as "Legacy GNOME Screensaver"

I have created a bug report about this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710904
Developers have asked why it would be good, so if you have any reasons feel free to add.

This issue is extremely annoying, and should be configurable. Maybe not in gnome-control-center, but config option in Tweak Tool would be much appreciated.
