info on labwc

Labwc, a Wayland window-stacking compositor, doesn’t have screen saver settings. However, you can configure Labwc to do other things, such as:
Set a shortcut to a launcher: Create a configuration file at ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml and add a entry.
Start a background-image client and a panel: Add the command to ~/.config/labwc/autostart.
Labwc is a lightweight compositor that stacks windows and renders some window decorations. It’s inspired by openbox and takes a simple approach, avoiding features like animations.

on pi those files are in

/etc/xdg/labwc/autostart
/etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml
/etc/xdg/labwc/environment

none of that appears changed when setting screen dimming on in raspi-config
none of the script older settings are triggered

Just wanted to say thanks for the hard work!

P.S. Sorry for cluttering the post. :)

sdetweil

@bugsounet yes, I saw the same, none of the older settings trigger, but haven’t found a new one…
