Hi List,
Currently running a couple of CentOS 6.3 workstations / laptops with
gnome as the default window manager.
Since the original 6.1 install the behaviour of the screensaver has
changed.
I use the cosmos theme and have this activate after five minutes of
idle.
Initially, when the five minutes were up, the screen would start to
dim and if one moved the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard it would
drop out of screensave and return to full bright screen.
With one of the updates since then, the behaviour has changed - now
once the 5 minutes are up - one has to wait until the gradual dimming
of the screen is complete (a couple of seconds) and only then move
the
mouse or hit a key to show the password dialog - enter password and
then get a working screen - all quite time consuming.
So I thought, remove the "Lock screen when screensaver is active" - I
have unchecked this option, logged in and out, and it just ignores it
and insists on a password - always.
I guess there is some option buried deep within the gnome system
panel that needs some attention - any ideas?
My preference is to have it back to the original behaviour, once the
screen begins to fade, a mouse movement or key click prevents the
screensaver from gaining complete control and needing the password
entry dialog etc. all my precious seconds being wasted - especially
as
I have a 5 minute idle setting.
Suggestions welcome
TIA
Rob

Thanks - appears to gain little attention, although I cannot see the
entire bugzilla posting.
