i think everyone agrees that having an option to prevent sleep, but still
locking the screen is the most desirable and common sense option.

Can we open a blocker ticket on KScreenLocker(?) to have this alternative? I'm
not familiar with the current KDE ecosystem to understand where the new blocker
should live, but happy to do the leg work after i'm pointed in the right
direction.

As discussed in the merge request, I'm unable to make any changes in my fork of
KTorrent, I think I broke something in GitLab. Someone else will have to make
the change. (sigh)

Apologies if I've done anything wrong or missed something I'm supposed to do, I
haven't really worked with GitLab before...

Sounds reasonable. Can you prepare a patch? Should be quite simple as this is
just a string change.

For the sake of clarity, perhaps the description of the option in KTorrent
could be updated to refer to screen locking and/or power saving as well as
'sleep'? Clearly I'm not the only one who would assume they are separate, even
if the system currently treats all of them as the same. Just trying to be
constructive here.

So I guess moral of the story, if you don't want this bahavior either:
* manually lock your screen
and/or
* disable ktorrent's "prevent sleep" option

See comment #1 , currently the protocol makes no distinction between strict
powersaving and screen locking (I'm venture most folks wouldn't want their
machine to go to sleep while sharing either?)

Amazing! I stumbled upon this report looking for something else, but I've also
had this problem ever since I started using KDE on my primary machine, around
January 2020. I've always just manually locked my screen instead - but it does
indeed appear that KTorrent is blocking screen locking for me. I always
wondered why screen locking didn't work only on a particular machine (the one
where KTorrent is running).

The way KTorrent describes the option (as of version 5.1.2) is 'Suppress sleep
when torrents are running'. I took that to mean avoid putting the system/PC to
sleep/suspend while KTorrent is running in the background. As the prior
discussion mentions, this sleep/suspend (at least from a user perspective)
doesn't seem like it should be related at all to screen locking or power
saving.

I get the impression that this is related more to kscreenlocker than ktorrent,
because kscreenlocker doesn't seem to differentiate between screensaver
inhibition and power management inhibition:

https://github.com/KDE/kscreenlocker/commit/39152af231d2c76163699ba8e99228f40c46f269

Because screen saver interface is considered obsolete (I guess?), so media
players use power management inhibition to inhibit the screen locker. Which
means that ktorrent has no way of inhibiting suspend without inhibiting screen
locker. In the end it seems to be an FDO spec issue (or lack of thereof).

Confirmed on Arch Linux.
plasma 5.12 beta
ktorrent 5.1.0

Automatic screen locking does not work if some torrent is active.
mediaplayer plugin is not enabled here.

I looked at KTorrent code. It seems that only mediaplayer inhibits screensaver.
So you can just disable mediaplayer plugin and Screensaver shoudln't be
inhibited.

IMHO these are three very different purposes. I understand that applications
such as ktorrent want to prevent the machine from going to sleep (which would
interrupt their job) but screen lock/sleep is none of their business,  they can
run in a locked-up machine.

Screen lock and sleep serve also different purpose, you may want to turn off
the screen without locking the machine (which requires entering password).

OK, in this case, I'm still not sure there's any distinction between screen
lock vs screen sleep

I'm not talking about screen sleep but about screen lock which is a different
functionality...
