status update: 21:08:14 < chrisccoulson> siretart - that gnome-screensaver patch makes the assumption that the MIT-SCREEN-SAVER extension is always available, which might not always be the case
21:09:53 < siretart> chrisccoulson: oh, can you perhaps improve the patch to check for that extension? 21:15:07 < chrisccoulson> siretart - i'll have a look if i get the chance, but the patch doesn't really look right anyway. gnome-screensaver currently gets session idle-ness from gnome-session, which uses the SYNC extension and IDLETIME counter. applications which want to inhibit the screensaver should really be the gnome-session inhibit API now, although it would be nice to get gnome-screensaver to work correctly too 21:16:54 < siretart> slangasek: based on chrisccoulson comments, please reject my gnome-screensaver upload :( 21:18:32 < slangasek> siretart: ok, rejected IOW: the patch needs more work :-( -- Vlc does not inhibit screensaver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
