How do I get xscreensaver to use the Kubuntu lock screen when quitting the screensaver instead of xscreensaver's little grey lock screen.
I have Xscreensaver set to lock after 0 minutes.

Kubuntu 18.10

Just curious, but what is your use case for Xscreensaver? Do you use a CRT monitor?

No. You can't use the xscreensaver with the Plasma 5 lock screen. You could disable the plasma lock screen and then use the XScreenSaver. Earlier - Shaving the Screen: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...l=1#post367785

Short: You will need to rewrite the screensavers as plasma wallpaper plugins. The plasma 5 can use wallpaper plugins as lockscreen background:

Could you tell me what to look for in Discover. I tried finding these QML apps and got nowhere. I don't have that screen on my Ubuntu 18.10 system. Where do I get that picture of yours.

I found the answer! There all right here at... https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/419/
At the bottom of each description is the install instruction. I uninstalled Xscreensaver. This is not ideal. But it keeps my screensavers in the plasma ecosystem. But, but, I have no photos or videos or GIF, . I will have to upload my photos. Too bad not more screensavers have been ported to the new plasma wallpaper format. I am using picture of the day.

As you find out the KDE Store has the wallpaper plugins available. With the Plasma 5.15 the wallpaper settings will have 'Get New Wallpaper Plugins':


...and with the Discover (5.15):
