--- Comment #9 from Thomas Lübking <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #8) > Ok, I do not understand much about OpenGL programming. Where the hack you > are talking about is located? In kwin or in the screensavers? *ggg* xscreensaver "modules" (eg. glmatrix) are traditionally called "xscreensaver hacks" - sorry for confusion :-) What basically happens (for that bug) is that the GL code in the screensaver *assumes* there's some black background (w/o actually causing it) what is no longer necessarily true for a composited desktop and esp. MSAA (multiscreen sampling for antialiasing) > I followed some of those discussions. Well, it seems there are people > interested in using light-dm instead of kdm, how that would affect moving > screenlocker to kdm? you could not (easily) invoke the greeter as actual lock layer (and fancy animations as optional, well... fancy animations) > What about this approach to move it to ksmserver? similar good protection against ctrl+alt+* but the (ksmserver) code is (i think) more complex (at least doing a lot of unrelated stuff) and doesn't actually handle logging in atm (think of other PAM stuff, eg. logging in by touching some image points etc.) - in terms of security the actual login handler seemed the far more natural location to me (but of course spellbinds you to that DM) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Active mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
