[Bug 244446] New: screen is locked although kcontrol-settings should be "overwritten"
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244446 Summary: screen is locked although kcontrol-settings should be "overwritten" Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de If one enables in kcontrol "lock after x seconds" for the screensaver but disables "start screensaver" the "lock after x seconds" is greyed out and should hence not be used. However, kpowersave starts the screensaver (bug 244441) and thereby enables the "lock after x seconds", which does not make sense since this setting is neither enabled in kpowersave nor kcontrol. So there are several possiblities: - Do not use the setting from kcontrol, i.e. "lock after x seconds" is not available, if "use special screensaver settings" in kpowersave is enabled, even if it is enabled (and greyed out) in kcontrol. - Use the setting from kcontrol, if "enable screensaver" in kcontrol is activated. - Provide the "lock after x" seconds setting in the kpowersave-GUI and ignore kcontrols if "special ..." is activated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244446 ------- Comment #1 from dkukawka@novell.com 2007-02-12 11:20 MST ------- This is simply not possible, since the kscreensaver DCOP interface doesn't provide any way to: check the settings for lock, set a value for lock the screen after x seconds. Therefor this is for _me_ a WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

There is also no way to tell the kscreensaver to start the screensaver in X seconds via the DCOP interface. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244446 ------- Comment #3 from sven.burmeister@gmx.net 2007-02-12 12:20 MST ------- It is certainly not a WONTFIX, since kpowersave enables a disabled feature, which is not acceptable. If it is disabled, respect that setting and do not enable it. If kpowersave cannot handle/set it, it should at least make sure it does not enable it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The missing dcop-functionality would be to set the time fo/enable/disable the "lock after x seconds" that can be found in kcontrol's screensaver-settings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
