Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.0.2-6.1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks other packages
Hello,
xine-ui was recently migrated from using a dirty hack into using
xdg-screensaver to disable the screen saver (see
#374644). Unfortunately, ever since,the screen saver simply does not
switch off.
I'm not using any fancy screen saver (not Gnome, KDE, xscreen-saver
or whatever); I'm only relying on Xorg to do its job, and was never
disappointed so far. However, xdg-screensaver does not work with plain
X screensaver...
Steps to reproduce:
First, make sure you have no fancy screensavers installed. Then:
20:21 vinc...@tanyaivinco ~ xwininfo | grep xwininfo
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
xwininfo: Window id: 0x380000f "xterm"
20:21 vinc...@tanyaivinco ~ xset s 3
20:21 vinc...@tanyaivinco ~ xdg-screensaver suspend 0x380000f
Then, wait three seconds, and see the screen go blank...
BTW, the xdg-screensaver command returns a non-zero status (status
4), but does not show any error message.
I'm tagging this bug as severity serious as it breaks xine-ui. Feel
free to downgrade if you think I'm excessive.
I'm try to implement a fix for that, I'll hopefully post a patch
soon enough.
Cheers,
Vincent Fourmond
