Public bug reported: Extend the settings for xscreensaver-gnome so that when laptop is plugged into power outlet it will cycle through the selected screensavers as normal. However, when the laptop is running on battery it should automatically just use the blank screen so that the system can run longer onits battery.
Perhaps also include this feature (request of implementation) in kscreensaver. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (upstream) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xscreensaver (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Rejected ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: Confirmed -- Option to use blank screen automatically in stead of selected screensavers when laptop is battery https://launchpad.net/bugs/18284 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
