light-locker x11vnc issue

When light-locker locks my desktop, either automatically or by SUPER+L.
x11vnc cannot access the lock screen to unlock it, so I lose remote VNC capabilities.

Also I have found that if a super user terminal is open and the screen automatically locks, I cannot login, (probably it wants a root password to get back in.)

Is their anyway to make light-locker work with x11vnc, and anyway to prevent automatic screen locks so that only SUPER+L locks the screen? I already unchecked the power management option "Lock screen when system is going to sleep" and set my computer to not go to sleep, but still after an unknown period of time, my screen is locked anyway.

Thanks for any help in advance ;-)

Re: light-locker x11vnc issue

No doubt what Hoas said offers some value, solution I went with, with anything on which light-locker was installed was "sudo apt-get remove light-locker". Obviously a preference, though really don't need a screen locker and found myself annoyed when it'd kick in and lock stuff. Didn't have any issues and would've went with a.)What Hoas is suggesting, that being learning to config light-locker or b.) Install an alternative after eval'ing what's available in gnu/Linux, surely it's not the only one, nor the only approach etc.
