Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.103-5
Severity: normal
Maybe related to #442867
Package file /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank called from /etc/acpi/lid.sh
when lid is closed makes a direct call to DCOP forcing screen blanking and
locking:
line 13: dcop --session "$session" --all-users kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
Since lid use to be a laptop feature, and laptops use to be used (mainly) by
just one person, it is desirable that user can configurate that behavior.
Actually, even if all
logged-in system users have their KDEs configured to do nothing when lid is
closed, sessions are locked, when it is not desired behaviour.
e.g. I use to close lid a moment just to write something on a paper piece, and
I must rewrite my password on screen locker afterwards.
Solution suggestion: change the unconditional call to DCOP to something
user-configurable
Suggested (_very_ ugly hack) patch:
