The dbus SessionManager.Presence StatusChanged signal has nothing to do with idle timers. It is related to the ‘What are you doin?’ status on facebook, etc.
I can confirm, though, that the gnome-screensaver and gnome-power- manager situation is a disaster. Right now, on my Lucid system, the screensaver doesn’t kick in. Yesterday noon it still did. gnome-power-manager never seems to activate DPMS (hard to tell, though). And it’s dbus interface is crippled completely. The UI side of the problem will never be bug-free until Screendimming, User-Idle, Screensaver and DPMS are configured together. -- indicator-applet-session must be running for session idle to happen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543932 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
