[opensuse-factory] 10.1 problem with xscreensaver
I may have found a bug of the kde screen saver. when the "k" menu is open, the screen saver don't start and the computer is never protected. I'll try it on beta 1 and report jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

same with beta 1 - may not be a bug (when the menu is up, many things are interrupted, but still a security problem :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Simple cause, but nearly unsolvable. xscreensaver has to grab the keyboard to be able to accept your password later on. Unfortunately, the "K" menu and afaics all window manager menus in all window managers grab the keyboard (that's necessary for them to function) and so xscreensaver can't grab it. The only remotely possible option I can see is to add the ability to xscreensaver to steal the keyboard from the window manager. But that would probably also need window manager support.
